Question
If five resistances, each of value 0.2 ohm, are connected in series, what will be the resultant resistance?
Solution
If five resistors, each of value 0.2 Ω, are connected in series, the resultant resistance will be the sum of the individual resistances.
R = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5
R = 0.2 + 0.2 +0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2
R = 5 x 0.2
R = 1 Ω

Answer the following question.
While studying the dependence of potential difference ( V) across a resistor on the current (I) passing through it, in order to determine the resistance of the resistor, a student took 5 readings for different values of current and plotted a graph between V and t.
