Problem

A student records the following readings for an unknown conductor at 25 ∘ ⁣C25\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}. (i) Complete the table by calculating the ratio VI\dfrac{V}{I} for each observation. Voltage VV (V): 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 Current II (A): 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40 (ii) From your results, state whether the conductor obeys Ohm’s law. Give a reason based on the values obtained. (iii) Determine the resistance of the conductor from the set of readings.
