I want know to which is the correct way to approach problems where we have to identify CC and CV mode. The question is > For various load resistors, connected across $Channel-1$ of the DC power supply the following table is > obtained- | **$R_L$** | Output Voltage (V) | Load current (A) | Mode of Operation| |--------|--------------------|-------------------|-----------------| | $\infty$ | 5.00 | 0.00 | a| | 100 | 5.00 | 0.05 | b| | 200 | 5.00 | 0.25 | c| Now we have to determine what modes are a, b, and c ---------------------------------- Now a simple approach goes to, since V is constant and load current is changing with values of load resistance so, a,b, and c must be a constant voltage mode. But I have another approach as well according to the definition given in this text- [![enter image description here][1]][1] I will plot the values of V and I and see which line it is following, but for the third reading, we find that $R_L$ is greater than $R_c$, it will lie on CV mode line. Checking for all I get all a, b, and c in CV mode. _______________________________ Can I think like both? Am I missing something in approach second? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/L8Fhh.png
