n resistors each of resistance r are connected to a battery of emf E and internal resistance r. Then the ratio of terminal voltage to emf of battery =....
$ V = \varepsilon-Ir , \varepsilon = V+Ir ,$ $ but V = nlr , \varepsilon = nlr +Ir = (n+1) Ir$ $\therefore {V \over \varepsilon} = { n \over n+1 } $
So, slope of rho - T curve is negative & it is dependent upon T i.e. it is not constant. So, alternative (3) is right choice.
