■ Resistor 3 (Violet, Green, Black, Gold)
Analysis – Step 1
Input the data on your graphic calculator and graph it.
Analysis – Step 2
Use the graphic calculator to determine the slope of the line.
a = 13.6 10
–3
Analysis - Step 3
Determine the resistance value.
R = 74Ω
Other Things To Do 1
After determining the resistance values of all three resistors, check their actual values
using the resistor color code chart below.
Other Things To Do 2
There is some difference between the resistance values calculated in the experiment
and actual resistance values. What is the reason for this difference?
Voltage (V) 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0
