Resistance, R, is definéd using R-V/I where V is the potential across a resistor, and I is the current. R is measured in Ohms, where l Ohm = 1 V/A·The constant you determined in each, equation should be similar.to the resistance of each resistor. However, resistors are manufactured such that their actual value is within a tolerance. For most resistors used in this lab, the tolerance is 5% or 10%. The instructor confirmed the tolerance in this lab is 5%. Calculate the range of values for each resistor. Does the constant in each equation fit within the appropriate range of values for each resistor?Explanation / Answer
R = 10 ohm; tolerance 5% = 0.5 ohm
The actual value = 10 +/- 0.25 , range 9.75 ... 10.25
measured value V/A = 9.788 : falls in the accepted range
R = 51 ohm ; tolerance = 2.6 ohm
actual value = 51 +/- 1.3 , range 49.7 . . 52.3
measured value V/A = 50.7 : falls in the accepted range.
