EXPERIMENT

AIM: To verify ohm’s law for resistance in parallel

OBJECTIVE
• Explain ohm’s law for resistance in parallel

THEORY
If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same
potential difference (voltage) across their ends. The potential difference across
the components are the same in magnitude, and they also have identical
polarities. The same voltage is applicable to all circuits components connected
in parallel. The total current is the sum of the currents through the individual
components, in accordance with Kirchhoff’s current law.

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the resistors is the same, and the
total current is the sum of the current through each resistor.

PROCEDURE

Let us go through the experiment of confirming Ohms Law with Resistance in

parallel.

1. Set DC voltage (0-30 V).

2. Here Resistances are kept parallelly. Set the resistance R1 (100 ohm- 2
kohm) value and set resistance R2(1 -30 kohm).
3. Voltmeter is placed parallel to resistor and ammeter series with resistor.
4. Now note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for DC voltage.
5. Increase the DC voltage by 2 factor and note Voltmeter and Ammeter
Readings. Keeping Resistance value constant
6. Plot the V-I graph to verify Ohm's Law.
7. Repeat step 2 to 6 for another set of resistance value.

RESULT
From the observation table and the graph (linear in nature) it is proved that
the ratio of potential difference and current is constant i.e, it obeys the ohm’s
law. We can also calculate the equivalent resistance from the graph.
