Using your multimeter, you determine that when a 5.00-Ω resistor is connected across the battery’s terminals, the current in the battery is 0.500 A.

- You want to determine the resistance value per meter for a very long wire. In the absence of an ohmmeter, you have at your disposal a battery, a voltmeter and an ammeter. First, you plug the voltmeter into the battery terminals and measure 10.7V. Then you cut a piece of the 20m wire and connect it to the battery, along with the ammeter in series. The reading on the ammeter is 6.00A. Then you cut a 40m piece of wire and connect it in the same way to the battery, with the ammeter in series. The reading is now 3.50A.
