Exp: 02 Verification of Ohms law.

1. Objectives:
a) To verify Ohms law.
b) To familiar with resistor.
c) To familiar with D.C. power supply.
2. Introduction:
Ohms law: The relationship between voltage across and current through a
conductor was first discovered by German scientist George Simon Ohm. This
relationship is called Ohms law and may be stated as:
The current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential
difference (V) across its ends provided the physical conditions (temperature, strain
etc) do not change i.e.

where R is the proportionality constant and is called resistance of the conductor.

Fig 2.1 Graphical representation of Ohms law.

If a graph is drawn between applied potential difference (V) and current (I) flowing
through the conductor, it will be a straight line passing through the origin as shown in
Fig 2.1 (a).

7. Graph:
Plot graphs for both resistors (R1, R2) between applied potential difference (V) and
current (I) flowing through the conductor. Plot the value of currents (I) in the X axis
and value of voltages (V) in the Y axis.
