As the potential across the resistor increased, the current through the resistor increased. If thechange in current is proportional to the potential difference, the data should be in a straight lineand the y-intercept should be zero. In the two resistor examples how close is the y-intercept tozero? Is there a proportional relationship between potential difference and current? If so, writethe equation for each resistor data set in the form V = mI. Use a numerical value for theproportionality constant, m. Compare the constant in each of the above equations to the resistance of each resistor.
