Question

2. Ohm's law states that the voltage, resistance and current in a resistor are related by the linear equation V=RI. In practice, however, real resistors may not always obey this law.

Suppose that you performed a precise experiment in the lab and obtained the following data for the resistor. I V -2 -637 -1 -96.5 -0.5 -20.5 0.5 20.5 1 96.5 2 637 Use a fifth-order polynomial to fit the data and compute V for 1 = 0.1. Employ function newtintr. Next, use Matlab's polyfit to generate the interpolation polynomial. Plot the data points and the polynomial, on the same graph, for x-axis limits [-2.2 2.2].
