Science
The values of current I flowing in a given resistor for the corresponding values of potential difference V across the resistor are given below –
I (ampere) | 0.5 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
V (volts) | 1.6 | 3.4 | 6.7 | 10.2 | 13.2 |
Plot a graph between V and I and calculate the resistance of that resistor.

Answer
The graph is plotted as below:

The slope of the line indicates the value of resistance.
Let P1(3.4, 1) and P2(10.2, 3) be two points on the graph
Slope =
R = = 3.4 Ω
Therefore, the resistance = 3.4 Ω.
