We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2
<span>In the labeled portion of the curve ,you use the heat of vaporization to calculate the heat absorbed in the 4th portion. It is indicated in the picture that it is the region where vaporization occurs, that is why you need to consider this portion to calculate.</span>
