law tells us that the fall in potentialvaries with the resistance. Hence our diagram mustshow for the four parts of our line of 1,000 feet afall proportional to the resistance of each section. 48 ELECTRICITY SIMPLIFIED. The diagram produced in this way is given here.The angle of inclination of the… … Fig. 5.—Diagram of Fall of Potential in Different Parts of Circuit. We might go a step further and graduate thethickness of the inclined line to represent the resist-ance. As resistance is in opposition to the current,the line should he made thin for high and thick forlow resistance, as in the next…
