This experiment will help you determine the relationship between voltage (V), amperage (I) and
resistance (R). This relationship is called Ohm’s Law
Objectives:
- Students will learn relations on the Ohms laws (Voltage, current and resistor)
- Students will develop their thinking skills on how to make the circuit works
The problem consists of two parts:
1. Find the formula which describes Ohm’s Law; that is, find the mathematical relationship
between voltage (V), amperage (I), and resistance (R).
Instructions:
The first part will be discovered through a trial-and-error experiment.
- choose from a variety of batteries
- add resistor/s to the circuit.
- Turn on the switch, allowing current to flow through the circuit.
- If the resistance is too low, too much current, and bulb will explode.
- If the resistance is too great, the lightbulb will not receive enough current, and will not light.
- If the resistance is just right, the lightbulb will light up. (Note: real light bulbs are not perfect
ohmic resistors as is the case here and will light partially with any amount of current).
