Conduct an experiment to determine the resistance of the resistor Q from the following procedures: Procedures: (a) Connect resistor Q, resistance box, two dry cells and a switch in series to complete a circuit. Then connect a 0 – 5 V voltmeter across the resistance box. (b) Read the voltmeter and record the value of V when a resistor of 2 Ω is set on the resistance box. (c) Repeat the procedure in 3 (b) by setting a resistance box in such a way that R = 4 Ω, 6 Ω, 8 Ω and 10 Ω to obtain a total of four other readings.
