Q1. The V/I characteristic of a non-linear resistor is shown in Table Q2.

This non-linear resistor is connected in series with a paralleled pair of resistors of 40 kW and 60 kW and the overall circuit is supplied at 120 V d.c. Determine graphically or otherwise:

(a) The current in the non-linear resistor;

(b) The effective resistance of the non-linear resistor;

(c) The current in the 40 kW resistor.
