Exercise 4: (4points) Experimental study of a resistor

In order to determine the resistance R of a resistor, we connect it in series with a rheostat

across the terminals of a battery. A voltmeter and an ammeter are connected in the circuit to
determine the voltage U across the terminals of R and the intensity of the current I traversing
it. The values of U and I are summarized in the table below:

I (A) 0.01 0.02 0.06 0.09 0.1

U (v) 1 2 6 9 10

1. Draw a figure of the circuit.

2. Represent the graph of U as function of I using the scale:
x-axis: 1 cm 0.01A
y-axis: 1 cm 2v
3. Determine the equation of the characteristic curve (U-I). Which law is thus verified?
4. Deduce the value of the resistance R.
5. For a voltage U = 12v, the corresponding current is I = 0.15A.
6. Is ohm's law verified in this case? Justify.
