Exercise 1: Ohms Law

Begin by reading the material on measuring voltage prepared by Prof E. J. Mastascusa at


Bucknell University. Next create the folloing circuit on your breadboard!
Questions:
". #n the circuit above$ the rating of the resistor is not specified %i.e.$ &' (hms)*. Place a
" k(hm resistor in the circuit$ and measure and record the voltage drop across it
++++++++++++++++++++.
,. Measure and record the current floing in the circuit!+++++++++++++++++++++.
%Be sure to reconfigure your multimeter for measuring current.*
-. .eplace the " k(hm resistor ith a "/ k(hm resistor$ and again measure and record
the voltage drop across the resistor ++++++++++++++++++++.
%Be sure to reconfigure the leads of your multimeter for measuring voltage.*
0. Measure and record the current floing in the ne circuit!+++++++++++++++++++++.
%Be sure to reconfigure the leads of your multimeter for measuring current.*
1. (hm2s la! 3 4 # x .. (hm2s la states that the current floing through a resistor is
proportional to the voltage drop across the resistor and inversely proportional to its
resistance. 5re your findings consistent ith (hm2s la6 Explain and sho
calculations.
