Answer:
Part 1: It would be a straight line, current will be directly proportional to the voltage.
Part 2: The current would taper off and will have negligible increase after the voltage reaches a certain value. Graph attached.
Explanation:
For the first part, voltage and current have a linear relationship as dictated by the Ohm's law.
V=I*R
where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. As the Voltage increase, current is bound to increase too, given that the resistance remains constant.
In the second part, resistance is not constant. As an element heats up, it consumes more current because the free sea of electrons inside are moving more rapidly, disrupting the flow of charge. So, as the voltage increase, the current does increase, but so does the resistance. Leaving less room for the current to increase. This rise in temperature is shown in the graph attached, as current tapers.
