10 In an experiment to determine the relationship between the current I through a piece of tungsten wire and the potential difference V across it, the theoretical relationship used was $$I = kV^{n}$$ , where k and n are constants which may be obtained from a straight line graph of the form y = mx + c, the symbols having their usual meaning.
