I have results from an experiment. It is an investigation of a material that can reasonably be expected to obey Ohm's Law.
I have a challenge for you … what is the best estimate for the resistance of this material?
It seems like a fairly trivial problem to solve, but whenever I ask this question in workshops I get a variety of answers.
Please also think about the degree of precision to which you can quote the answer, and ideally qualify the answer with the standard error of the estimate.
Let me know your answer in the comments below.
Here is the data:
Voltage Current
0.2 0.14
0.4 0.18
0.6 0.30
0.8 0.45
1.0 0.50
1.2 0.60
1.4 0.65
1.6 0.80
1.8 0.90
2.0 0.95
