You connect five identical resistors in series to a battery whose EMF is 12.0 V and whose internal resistance is negligible. You measure the current that the circuit draws from the battery and find 0.719 A. What are the resistance of each resistor and the potential difference across each resistor? resistance: potential difference: V
Resistance, R, is defined using R = V/I where V is the potential across a resistor, and I is thecurrent. R is measured in ohms (Ω), where 1 Ω = 1 V/A. The constant you determined in eachequation should be similar to the resistance of each resistor. However, resistors aremanufactured such that their actual value is within a tolerance. For many common resistors, thetolerance is 5% or 10%. Calculate the range of possible values for each resistor. Does the constant in each equation fit within the appropriate range of values for each resistor? Do the resistors follow Ohm’s law? Base your answer on your experimental data.
