Voltage in V

(a) Sammy wants the range of resistance values to be less than 2.5 Ω for voltages between 4 V and 12 V. Use the graph to calculate values of resistance to find out if the wire has a suitable range. ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................................
