How would I determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors in series or parallel with this technique?

What was the resistance of the resistor in Part 1? Include your current-voltage plot with the measured slope in your response. Explain how you might determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors in series or parallel with this technique.

Explanation:

By measuring the voltage drop before and after the resistors, and the current in the circuit, you can graph voltage vs current to get a line whose slope is equal to the equivalent resistance.

V = Req Ɨ I

For example, if you had two resistors in series, and each resistor was 1.5 Ī©, then the equivalent resistance would be 3.0 Ī©, and you would get the same graph as if there were a single 3.0 Ī© resistor.
