- 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.

Give your answer as only the numerical value in the SI units specified. e is interpreted as x10^ for use with large or small values; 1.01e2 is interpreted as 1.01 x 102.arrow_forwardOhm’s law states that the voltage drop V across an ideal resistor is linearly proportional to the current I flowing through the resister as in V = IR, where R is the resistance. However, real resistors may not always obey Ohm’s law. Suppose that you performed some very precise experiments to measure the voltage drop and corresponding current for a resistor. The following results suggest a curvilinear relationship rather than the straight line represented by Ohm’s law: I -1.5 -0.5 -0.25 0.25 0.5 1.5 V -982 -166.6 -54 54 166.6 982 Table 2 To quantify this relationship, a curve must be fit to the data. Because of measurement error, regression would typically be the preferred method of curve fitting for analysing such experimental data. However, the smoothness of the relationship, as well as the precision of the experimental methods, suggests that interpolation might be appropriate.
