Question
Calculate the equivalent resistance between the points A and B for the following combination of resistors:

Solution
`1/("R"_1') = 1/12 + 1/4 + 1/6 = (1 + 3 + 2)/12 = 6/12`
`1/("R"_1') = 1/2`
R1' = 2 Ω
Total resistance = 5 + 2 + 6 = 13 ohm.

Answer the following question.
While studying the dependence of potential difference ( V) across a resistor on the current (I) passing through it, in order to determine the resistance of the resistor, a student took 5 readings for different values of current and plotted a graph between V and t. He got a straight line graph passing through the origin. What does the straight-line signify? Write the method of determining the resistance of the resister using this graph.
