    1. The document describes two experiments to verify Ohm's law. The first experiment measures the resistance of a known 2 ohm resistor using a voltmeter and ammeter. Readings are taken at different current levels and plotted on a graph to find the slope and resistance. 2. The second experiment determines the resistance of a 100cm wire by measuring the current through segments of different lengths. The reciprocal of the current is plotted against length and extrapolated to when length is zero to find the resistance.

    2 Note down the least count of voltmeter and ammeter.


    3 Insert the plug key. Adjust the rheostat to register a small current in the ammeter. Note the
    corresponding ammeter and voltmeter reading.
    4 Now move the variable terminal of the rheostat to increase the current slightly and note the ammeter
    and corresponding ammeter and voltmeter reading.
    5 By changing the variable terminal of the rheostat take 3 sets of ammeter and voltmeter readings.
    6 Plot a graph between V against I . Draw the best fit line and find its slope.
