	current (A)	Resistance (Ω)	Voltage drop (V)
24cm	1	17.8	0.238
22cm	1	17.8	0.217
20cm	1	17.8	0.199
18cm	1	17.8	0.178
16cm	1	17.8	0.158
14cm	1	17.8	0.140

8cm	1	17.8	0.080
6cm	1	17.8	0.059
4cm	1	17.8	0.040

According to Ohm's law and the data above, the measured voltage V will be proportional to the length of the wire L with a slope b such that

V= bL

b=Iρ/(πD^2/4)

ρ=b(πD^2/4)/ I

Use Desmos to plot a graph of V versus the values of L .

Is V linearly dependent on the length L?

Find the best fit to the slope b and then calculate the resistivity of stainless steel.

From this slope, what is the resistivity of stainless steel?
