Experiment Number: 2

Experiment Name: Verification of Ohm's Law


Objective:
In this experiment we are going to perform an experiment to verify Ohm’s Law.
We will do that by:
1) Verifying that the ratio of voltage and resistance is a constant value
R=V/I.
2) Keeping the resistance constant throughout the experiment.
3) Verifying that voltage is directly proportional to current.

Introduction:
The fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance was first
Discovered by Georg Simon Ohm and which is why it is known as Ohm’s Law
and it is stated as:
“The current flowing through a constant resistor is directly proportional to
the voltage applied to its ends.”

V∝I
V= IR
Where R is the constant of proportionality.

The graph of Ohm’s Law is a straight line which shows that resistance is
constant and current is directly proportional to voltage.

Apparatus:

1. Power supply (240 V)


2. Ammeter (0-200 A range)
3. Voltmeter (0-300 V range)
4. Variable resistor or load
5. Connecting wires

Circuit Diagram:

(Include a simple circuit diagram: power supply, ammeter in series, voltmeter


parallel across the load, and variable resistor.)

Procedure:

1. Assemble the circuit as per the diagram.


2. Set the power supply to a constant voltage of 240 V.
3. Adjust the variable resistor to achieve different current values (below 100
A).
4. Measure and record the corresponding current (III) and voltage (VVV)
across the load.
5. Calculate the resistance (RRR) for each measurement using R=VIR =
\frac{V}{I}R=IV.
6. Compare the calculated resistance values to verify if they remain
constant.

Observations:

Voltage (V) Current (I) Calculated Resistance (R)


240 100 2.4
240 80 3.0
240 60 4.0

Results and Verification:


 Calculated resistances are consistent, verifying that RRR remains
constant.
 This demonstrates that the relationship V=I×RV = I \times RV=I×R holds
true, validating Ohm's Law.

Conclusion:

Ohm's Law was successfully verified. The observed values of voltage, current,
and calculated resistance align with the theoretical expectations.
