    NasirAbbas
    This document describes an experiment to verify Ohm's Law. The objectives are to express current as a function of voltage and resistance, and voltage as a function of current and resistance. The experiment will use a variable DC power supply, multimeter, resistors, and variable resistor. Students will construct circuits to collect data on current and voltage values over different resistances. Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. Students will analyze their data, plot graphs, and answer questions to better understand the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance as described by Ohm's Law.

    EXPERIMENT #03
    To verify Ohms Law

    OBJECTIVE:

    To verify the following two equivalent forms of Ohms Law:
    (a) Express I as a function of V and R.
    (b) Express V as a function of I and R.

    EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:

    Variable DC power supply (maximum 30V)
    DMM/Analog multimeter
    1k resistor (Br, Black, Red)
    Variable resistor (maximum 10 k)

    THEORY:

    Ohms law describes mathematically describes how voltage V, current I, and resistance R
    in a circuit are related. According to this law:
    The current in a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely
    proportional to the circuit resistance.

    Formula For Voltage:
    For a constant value of R, V is directly proportional to I
    i.e. V = IR

    Formula For current:
    For a constant value of V, I is inversely proportional to R
    i.e. I = V/R

    Ohm's Law makes intuitive sense if we apply it to the water-and-pipe analogy. If we
    have a water pump that exerts pressure (voltage) to push water around a "circuit" (current)
    through a restriction (resistance), we can model how the three variables interrelate. If the
    resistance to water flow stays the same and the pump pressure increases, the flow rate must also
    increase. If the pressure stays the same and the resistance increases (making it more difficult for
    the water to flow), then the flow rate must decrease. If the flow rate were to stay the same while
    the resistance to flow decreased, the required pressure from the pump would necessarily
    decrease.

    PROCEDURE:

    a) Current versus voltage:
    1) Construct the circuit of fig 3.1.
    2) Do not switch on the power supply.
    3) Turn on the power supply and adjust it to 5V. Measure the current I in amperes and record it
    in the table.
    4) Measure and record in turn, the current I (in amperes) at each of the voltage settings shown
    in the table.
    5) Calculate the value of current I by using I=V/R. Use measured value of resistance.
    6) Plot a graph of I versus V. (use measured values)

    b) Current versus resistance:
    1) Construct the circuit of fig 3.2.
    2) Do not switch on the power supply.
    3) Turn on the power supply and adjust it to 10 V. Measure the current I in amperes and record
    it in the table.

    shown in the table, for V= 10V.Be sure to set the resistor values in the same way as described in
    the circuit diagram.
    5) Calculate the value of resistance R by using R=V/I. Use measured value of Voltage and
    current.

    2. What would happen if a wire having no resistance at all (0 ) were connected directly
    across the terminals of an 18-volt battery? How much current would result, according to
    Ohm's Law?













    3. After plotting the graph between voltage and current, what mathematical relationship
    do you observe between voltage and current in this simple circuit?
















    Conclusion:
    Have you become familiar with ohms law, simple DC circuit and relationship between
    voltage, current and resistance? What theoretical and practical concepts did you gain from this
    experiment? Comment.
