Question

FOLLOWING IS GRAPH VOLTAGE FROM BATTERY VS CURRENT IN CIRCUIT


1.   Which Curve Fit function did you use to fit your data? We chose a linear fit curve for our data.  

2.    What do the y- intercept and the x-intercept of your graphs represent physically?

3.    Is it possible to determine the resistance of the rheostat using the data from this lab? If so, calculate it and show your work below. If not, explain why it is not possible.

Explanation / Answer

1. Linear fit

2. X intercept : current

Y intercept: Voltage

3.

No. It’s not possible.

Because slope is the internal resistance of the battery used.
