Question
The values of potential difference V applies across a resistor and the corresponding values of current I flowing in the resistor are given below:
| Potential differences, V (in volts) | : | 2.5 | 5.0 | 10.0 | 15.0 | 20.0 | 25.0 |
| Current, I (in amperes) | : | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.6 | 0.8 | 1.0 |
Solution
From the graph, resistance, R =`R=V/I=5/0.2=25Ω`
