    resistance.

    Theory

    The fundamental relationship among voltage, current, and resistance was discovered by Georg
    Simon Ohm, which is known as Ohms law. Ohms law states that,

    If temperature and other physical conditions of a conductor remain unchanged then current
    flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the voltage difference between two
    terminals of the conductors.

    Mathematically,

    G is a constant called conductance.

    =

    R is called resistance. So that,

    = (1)


    =

    Let = , = and = then equation (1) can be written as = , which is the equation
    of straight line passing through the origin.

    Therefore, if we apply different voltages across a resistor and measure resulting voltage and
    current using voltmeter and ammeter respectively, and put them in a graph the result will be a
    straight line. This verifies the ohms law. Again slope of this straight line is calculated as /.
    This slope is equal to1/. Where, R is the value of resistance of the resistor. Therefore,
    calculating the slope from the graph we can calculate the value of unknown resistance using
    above relation.

    Apparatus

    1) Bread board

    6) Connecting wires

    Procedure

    1) Connect all components on the bread board according to the circuit of Fig. 1 on the bread
    board.
    2) Turn on the dc power supply.
    3) Set the dc power supply voltage to zero volt.
    4) Measure the voltage and current using voltmeter and ammeter respectively.
    5) Increase the voltage of power supply by 1 volt and repeat the above step for few times.

    Ohms law is verified and the calculated value of unknown resistance is..

    Discussion

    The V-I graph is not exactly straight line. It is deviated slightly from the ideal graph. Moreover,
    the calculated error is relatively high. This is mostly due to the problem is apparatus. Also may
    be due to the lose connections. Although voltage and current was measured using digital multi-
    meter, reading was fluctuating and it was difficult to take exact reading. The total experiment is
    done with great accuracy and under the instruction of the teacher.
    Precautions

    1. All circuit elements should be connected tightly.


    2. DC voltage should be in the range of 0V to 20V.
    3. Bread board, ammeter and voltmeter should be checked first.
    4. The reading should be taken with great care.
    5. Wires should be connected properly.
