Question

You wish to create every integer resistance from �1-10 Ω using the fewest number of resistors possible. What minimum number of resistors is required and what are the values of each of those resistances? Justify your response by explaining how to get each resistance from 1-10 Ω, and why it would not work with fewer resistors.
