    This document summarizes an experiment conducted to verify Ohm's Law. The experiment used a simple circuit with a variable resistor and batteries as a power source. Different resistor values were used at voltages of 3V and 6V, and the current was measured. The results showed a direct linear relationship between voltage and resistance as predicted by Ohm's Law, where voltage equals current times resistance. This confirmed that in a circuit with a constant temperature, the current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.

    Experiment to Verify Ohms Law

    Rolla Tyas Amalia


    Grade 11

    For a conductor at constant temperature, the current in the


    conductor is proportional to the potential difference across it.

    Introduction
    Ohms law is used in electrical engineering to calculate the
    relationships

    between

    current,

    voltage

    and

    resistance.

    The

    calculations are required to design a safe circuit. Ohms law is apply


    in our every-day life in electrical things that we use, such as light
    bulbs, electric stoves, and others. Ohms law was discovered by a
    scientist named Georg Simon Ohm. It published in his paper titled
    The Galvanic Circuit Investigated Mathematically in 1827. Ohms
    principal discovery was that the amount of electric current through a
    metal conductor in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage
    across it, for any given temperature. Ohm expressed his discovery in
    the form of a simple equation, describing how voltage, current, and
    resistance related to each other:

    V=IR

    Hypothesis
    The experiment setup consists of a simple circuit with a variable
    resistance and simple power source, which are 3 batteries (1.5 Volt
    each). The diagram beside shows the single circuit that we will use
    for this experiment:
    We could choose a Voltage range and
    then vary the value of the resistance
    over

    the range. As expected from

    Ohms law, it will be seen the voltage


    range and value of the resistance
    chosen will be linear and the value of
    resistance will be perpendicular to the current.

    Experiment
    Apparatus:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    4 varied value of resistors


    Power supply
    Connecting wires
    Multimeter

    Variables:

    Independent: Resistance
    Dependent: Current
    Controlled: Electromotive force

    Procedures:
    1. Set up the apparatus to be the circuit as shown in diagram of
    hypothesis.
    2. Set the value of electromotive force into 3 V.
    3. Put the 12-ohm resistor and see the value of current in the
    Multimeter.
    4. Change the 12-ohm resistor with 82 and 470-ohm resistor
    variedly and repeat step 3.
    5. Change the value of electromotive force into 6 V.
    6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (use 56-ohm resistor instead of 12-ohm
    resistor, because the value of 12-ohm resistor is too small for
    6V of electromotive force).
    7. Record the data in this table:
    Current
    0.215 A
    0.037 A
    0.007 A
    0.105 A
    0.073 A

    From this experiment, we can see that the values of voltages


    depend on how big are the values of resistors. The bigger the values
    of resistors, the bigger the values of electromotive force will be

    resulted. This shows that the voltage range and resistor value is
    linear to each other, while perpendicular with the value of current.
    For more clear details, see the table of the experiment data above.
    Conclusion
    The value voltage range in a circuit will be linear with the value of
    resistor chosen, and perpendicular with the value of current
    resulted.
