Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A resistor carries a current of . What is the potential difference across it? What current flows if it is joined to ?
Ohm's law: at a steady temperature, . So and , with in ohms (). The V-I graph of such a conductor is a straight line through the origin; its slope is .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. .
Step 2. .
Answer: , and .
Check. times the voltage gives times the current: .
