hm okay so basically there are 2 factors that affect the R, which drops the V.
the factors are : length of wire current has travelled through and the resistivity of the wire
since the rate of current passing through the wire is always the same under same resistivty so we know gradient will be a constant.
Since the change in resistivity is descrete not continuous so there will be sudden gradient change between P1 P2 and P2 P3

tyvm, i understand it now.

please help!
first we find the resistance of the wires
0.005 x 800 =4 and because there are 2 wires which forms the loop so 4x2 = 8
now we find the V dissipated by the resistance so V= IR = 8x0.6 = 4.8V
this means that 4.8 will be lost during transmission
and the relay requires 16, so 16+4.8 = 20.8

Excuse me 6Astarstudent... did u take ur physx p1 just now?
If so, and if u have the temperament to do so, can u kindly PM me the answers u remmbr?

thanks buddy, i had forgotten about the other wire
