Chapter 18, Problem 28ICA
Three different diodes were tested: a constant voltage (0.65 volts) was held across each diode while the current through each was measured at various temperatures. The following data were obtained.
Create a proper plot of the data. Use polyfit to determine exponential models for each data set. For each model, add the trendline and the associated trendline equation to the graph

How do you determine which type of trendline to use on a graph?
The accepted or proposed experimental formula for the quantity
The type that passes through every single point
The best-fit parameter value (R^2)
a and c
As the potential across the resistor increased, the current through the resistor increased. If the change in current is proportional to the voltage, the data should be in a straight line and it should go through zero. In these two examples how close is the y-intercept to zero? Is there a proportional relationship between voltage and current? If so, write the equation for each run in the form potential = constant x current. (Use a numerical value for the constant.)

- A thermocouple was used to measure the temperature. Over the range of temperatures expected in the experiment, a linear regression analysis was performed for the temperature as a function of voltage. The best-fit equation was T = (-0.008563 + 220*V), where V is the thermocouple voltage. The voltage was fed into a 11-bit A/D converter with a voltage range of -8 V to 8 V.
