Question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

digital balance, an electronic circuit generates a current which is then converted into a digital

readout on the display.

The electronic circuit gives a current of 2.0 mA when a weight of 30 N is applied, and a current of

0.5 mA when a weight of 5 N is applied.

Which calibration curve could represent this circuit?
