Answers to the questions


1. How are the voltmeter and ammeter placed in a circuit for measurement and why?

A voltmeter is connected in parallel to the component whose voltage is being measured. This is
because components in parallel experience the same voltage, and the voltmeter is designed to
measure the potential difference across two points.

An ammeter is connected in series with the component whose current is being measured. This
ensures that the same current flows through the ammeter as through the component, as current is
the same in series.

2. Which of the meters forces all the current into the meter for the measurement?

The ammeter forces all the current into itself for measurement because it is placed in series with the
circuit.
3. Which meter has the largest resistance and why?

The voltmeter has the largest resistance. This is because it is connected in parallel to the circuit, and
a high resistance ensures that it draws minimal current from the circuit, thus not affecting the
operation of the circuit.

4. Which meter measures the flow rate of electrons?

The ammeter measures the flow rate of electrons, which corresponds to the electric current in the
circuit.

Conclusion and Analyses


From the experiment we have conducted, we have concluded that the potential difference is
directly proportional to the current being added and the proportionality constant is the resistance of
the circuit. This was stated in Ohm’s law. The formula is given as V= IR.

A change in current only affects the potential difference and not the resistance. The same goes for
the change in potential difference as the only thing that changes is the current while the resistance
remains the same. The resistance is only affected by the nature of the connective wires, their length,
and their area but it remains constant when changing either the potential difference or the current.
That is why it is used as a proportionality constant in Ohm’s law.

Through this experiment, we successfully verified Ohm's Law, demonstrating the relationship
between current, resistance, and voltage in an electrical circuit. The consistent linear relationship
obtained between voltage and current reaffirms the fundamental principles of Ohm's Law and the
predictable behavior of resistive elements in electrical systems.
