Question

In an experiment to study the relation between the potential difference across a resistor and the current through it, a student recorded the following observations:

Potential V (volts)	1.0	2.2	3.0	4.0	6.4
Current I (ampere)	0.1	0.2	0.6	0.4	0.6

On examining the above observations the teacher asked the student to reject one set of readings as the values were out of agreement with the rest. Which one of the above sets of readings can be rejected? Calculate the mean value of resistance of the resistor based on the remaining four sets of readings.

Answer

Reading to be rejected in the table is (3.0, 0.6)$R_{1} = \frac{1.0 \text{ V}}{0.1 \text{ A}} = \text{10 }\Omega \text{ ; }$
$ R_{2} = \frac{2.2 \text{ V}}{0.2 \text{ A}} = \text{11 }\Omega \text{ ; }$
$R_{3} = \frac{4.0 \text{ V}}{0.4 \text{ A}} = \text{ 10 } \Omega \text{ ; }$
$R_{4} = \frac{6.4 \text{ V}}{0.6 \text{ A}} = \text{10.6 } \Omega$
$\therefore \text{Mean } R = \text{(10 + 11 + 10 +10.6) } \Omega$
$ = \text{10.4 } \Omega$

When a person breathes in air, the air enters into his body through an organ Ahaving two holes B in it. The air then passes through pharynx and larynx and enters into a tube C. The tube C divides into two smaller tubes D at its lower end. The two smaller tubes are attached to two respiratory organs E. Each smaller tube divides inside the organs E to form a large number of still smaller tubes called F. The smallest tubes F have air-sacs G at their ends in which gaseous exchange takes place in the body of the person. What are A, B, C, D, E, F and G?
