Assume that the density of wood is approximately 1.01 g/cm3.
What is the density of rubber?The resistance of R is 10 Ω.
R is divided into 2 sections, ac and bc, by the slider c.
Section ac of R has a resistance of 3.2 Ω.
The resistance of the lamp is also 3.2 Ω.
Calculate the total resistance of the circuit.
