a) What physical quantity does the slope of the Resistance vs. L graph represent? Explain how you know. This explanation should be consistent with your Sample Calculation 1.

b) What physical quantity does the slope of the Resistance vs. 1/A graph represent? Explain how you know. This explanation should be consistent with your Sample Calculation 2.

c) What is the physical origin of the intercept i.e., the symbol in the equation of a line given by in each of your graphs? Can you attribute it to anything physical, or is just meaningless, random “noise” in the data? Explain your reasoning.

d) Is your experimental determination of the resistivity consistent with the standard, room temperature resistivity for our Nickel-Chromium alloy of ? Explain.
