The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A light bulb and a resistor are connected in series to

a variable power supply. A student first connects a voltmeter and an ammeter to measure the current through and
the voltage across the bulb, as shown in the left circuit. The student varies the power supply voltage and records
the readings on the meters. The student then places the voltmeter across the resistor as shown in the right
circuit, and repeats the experiment. She plots the data for both circuit elements in a single graph, as shown
below.
