Problem 25.59
On your first day at work as an electrical technician, you are asked to determine the resistance per meter of a long piece of wire. The company you work for is poorly equipped. You find a battery, a voltmeter, and an ammeter, but no meter for directly measuring resistance (an ohmmeter). You put the leads from the voltmeter across the terminals of the battery, and the meter reads 12.2 . You cut off a 20.0- length of wire and connect it to the battery, with an ammeter in series with it to measure the current in the wire. The ammeter reads 6.70 . You then cut off a 40.0- length of wire and connect it to the battery, again with the ammeter in series to measure the current. The ammeter reads 4.20 . Even though the equipment you have available

A voltmeter is always connected in parallel with the circuit element that is being measured. An ideal voltmeter would have infinite resistance so as not to draw off any of the current passing through the circuit element being measured. This is an idealization, but the best results are obtained by making the resistance of the voltmeter as large as possible. This is done by placing a high-resistance resistor in
