Experiment title:
Ohm’s Law.
Purpose of the experiment:
The purpose of this lab will be to investigate the three variables involved in a mathematical
relationship know as Ohm’s Law.
Theoretical background:
Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing
through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant. Mathematically Ohm's
Law given by V=IR. Where V=Voltage, I=Current, R= Resistance.
Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons
(current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light, and it is
measured in volts (V).
Current is the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a
complete electrical circuit. At its most basic, current = flow, and
an ampere (A) is the international unit used for measuring
current.
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an
electrical circuit. is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek
letter omega (Ω).

Discussion:
After calculating the data and seeing the results, it was noted that the error rate is small, except one,
which is normal because of the values, but the reason for this percentage may be due to the quality of
the devices used, or the wires not being installed well, and also incorrect reading of the numbers.
Conclusion:
There is a close relationship between current, voltage, and resistance, and to calculate one of them, we
must obtain the value of two of them to find the unknown through them by adjusting the wires and
multimeter to the correct set according to the variable you want to measure.

The first chart here is represent the relationship


between Resistance and Current, that proves that the
current is inversely proportionate with its resistance.

The second chart here is represent the relationship


between Voltage and Current during the experiment.

Questions:
1. From your graph, what is the mathematical relationship between Current and Resistance?
Inversely proportional, whenever the current rises, the resistance decreases, and so on.
2. Ohm’s law says that current is given by the ratio of Voltage/Resistance. Does your data concur
with this?
My results are not close to each other, but the equation is correct, which I= V/R tells that the current is
flowing through the circuit directly proportional to the voltage, and inversely proportional to the
resistance, which mean if we increase the voltage, the current will increase.
3. What were possible sources of experimental error in this lab? Would you expect each of them to
make your results larger or smaller?
Experimental errors can occur due to a variety of reasons. Equipment not being calibrated correctly or
old such as the wires do not connect well with the circuit board, the resistors are old enough to give
Results are not 100% correct, the batteries are old and
may be expired so it give insufficient voltage, and
human mistakes are just a few things that can cause
experimental error.
