Q15.In an experiment to study the relation between the potential difference across a resistor and the current through it, a student recorded the
following observations:
Potential V (volts) 1.0 2.2 3.0 4.0 6.4
Current I (ampere) 0.1 0.2 0.6 0.4 0.6
On examining the above observations the teacher asked the student to reject one set of readings as the values were out of agreement with
the rest. Which one of the above sets of readings can be rejected? Calculate the mean value of resistance of the resistor based on the
remaining four sets of readings.
Q16.Which one of the following is the correct set-up for studying the dependence of the current on the potential difference across a resistor
