1b. Use formula R=(p*l)/A (p is resistivity, l is length, A is cross-sectional area of wire, use formula A=pi*(0.5*d)^2 R is resistance)
So you just input the original measurement into the equation.
5a (ii) Okay so you've found 0.667 for the minimum current. So you can draw a curve with decreasing gradient as R increases. (As V=IR) (I gave a picture of it)
5b. To find the minimum/maximum current, you need to find the minimum/maximum voltage first.
Maximum voltage: 12/12*12=12V. Hence Max current= 12V/6=2A
Minimum voltage: 0/12*12=0V. Hence min current: 0A

Hope I am right, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

fr Q5 a (ii)
how did yu draw the graph, I mean what readings yu took?
