Experiment No- 02: Study of Ohm's law

Objective:

• To Introduce with Ohm's law


• To verify Ohm's law in Electrical circuit
• Investigate how to use a voltmeter to measure voltage across a circuit component
• Investigate how to use an ammeter to measure current flow in a circuit component
• Determine the relationship between voltage and current for constant resistance
Theory:
Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the
voltage across it, provided the temperature and other physical conditions remain constant.
Mathematically, it is expressed as:
IαV
or, I = V/R
Where I/R is a constant and R is called the resistance of the conductor.
Required Equipment:

1. Resistors: R = 470Ω, (1 Piece); 𝑅𝐿 = 1 kΩ, (1 Piece).


2. Multimeter (2 Pieces).
3. Trainer Board (1 set).
4. Connecting Wires (as required).
5. One DC Power Supply.
Experimental Setup:

Procedures:

I. Construct the circuit as shown in Figure 1 with R=470Ω, 𝑅𝐿 = 1kΩ


2. Use the variable DC source as E. Set the value of E as 1 volt.

3. Now measure the current 𝐼, Voltage 𝑉𝐿 , and resistance 𝑅𝐿 and note them down on the table.
4. Varying DC source value from 1 V to 5 V by 1 volt step and every time the above three variables
as mentioned in procedure 3 and record them in the data table below.
Data Table for Observation:

Graph:

• Plot a voltage (V) graph on the y-axis against current (I) on the x-axis.
• The graph should be a straight line passing through the origin, verifying Ohm's Law.

Discussion: This experiment shows that Ohm's Law works by proving that voltage and current
increase together in a straight-line relationship. The graph of voltage versus current is a straight
line through zero, and the slope gives the resistance. Slight differences in results might happen
because of loose wires, minor tool errors, or the resistor getting warmer during the test. By
improving the setup, the results can be even better. This experiment is a simple but important way
to understand electrical circuits work.
