Q16 The current through a resistive component is measured at a few different voltages: Voltage (V) 2 5 15 Current (I) 1.7 4.2 12.5 a) Plot this information on the graph paper below. Put the voltage values on the y axis. b) Draw the line of best fit through the data points. c) Determine the equation of this line. d) What is the resistance of the component?

Step 1
Since the question specifies that voltage (V) should be on the y-axis and current (I) on the x-axis, each point will be plotted with the current as the x-coordinate and the voltage as the y-coordinate. The points to plot are (1.7, 2), (4.2, 5), and (12.5, 15). Show more…

The potential energy diagram, connected as shown in Questions 23, has five resistors between points A and B. The voltage across the resistors is 15 V. Calculate the equivalent resistance between points A and B: 1.5 Ω, 4.8 Ω, 8.7 Ω, 10.4 Ω, 11.1 Ω. Calculate the current in the 3.6 Ω resistor: 1.3 A, 1.7 A, 2.9 A, 3.5 A, 15 A. Calculate the current in the 2.7 Ω resistor: 12 A, 0.8 A, 2.2 A, 0.4 A, 1.3 A.

CEPredict/Explain Current-versus-voltage plots for two materials, $A$ and $B$ , are shown in Figure $21-37$ . (a) Is the resistance of material A greater than, less than, or equal to the resistance of material B at the voltage $V_{1} ?$ (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. Curve B is higher in value than curve A. II. A larger slope means a larger value of $I / V$ , and hence a smaller value of $R .$ III. Curve $B$ has the larger slope at the voltage $V_{1}$ and hence the larger resistance.
