Circuit schematic with battery, fixed resistors, variable resistor, and ammeter.
An ideal battery with potential difference \(\varepsilon\) is connected in series with a fixed resistor of resistance \(R_1\). This combination is connected across a parallel network consisting of a second fixed resistor of resistance \(R_2\) and a variable resistor of resistance \(R_x\). An ammeter of negligible resistance measures the current \(I_x\) through the variable resistor as \(R_x\) is varied. Which of the following identifies the quantities that should be plotted on the vertical and horizontal axes to obtain a linear graph, along with the expressions for the slope and vertical intercept of the resulting line?
