According to Ohm’s Law in electricity, the voltage (V ) across a resistor with a resistance (R ) is directly proportional to the current (I) passes through the resistor. Accordingly
V= IR
Data listed in the following table is the results of an experiment measuring the voltage across a resistor R vesrus the current it passes through it. Use the least square linear fitting to find the resistance R.
