2.0 OBJECTIVES
1. To construct a basic electric circuit using Tinkercad software
2. To measure voltages and currents for basic circuit using Tinkercad software.
3. To inspect the relationship between current and voltage when resistance value is constant.
4. To inspect the relationship between current and resistance when voltage value is constant.

3.0 EQUIPMENT
1. Computer with internet
2. Tinkercad software

4.0 THEORY

According to Ohm’s Law, the currents flow through a conductor between two points is directly
proportional to voltage across the two points but inversely proportional to resistance between them.
The equation for Ohm’s Law as follow:

V = I x R, I = V / R and R = V / I

Where resistance R is measured in ohms() , potential difference in volt (V) and current in amperes
(A). In this experiment, Ohm’s Law will be examined by applying different voltage and resistances. A
graph of V versus have a straight line with a slope equal to R.

7.0 LAB TASK & DISCUSSION

1. From the result reading of Table 1.1, when the value of resistor is fixed while the value of voltage
supply is varied, what happen to the current readings? Explain.

The current readings will increase . It is because current is directly proportional

With voltage . So when the voltage increase , the current also increase.

2. From the result reading of Table 1.4, when the value of voltage supply is fixed while the value of
resistor is varied, what happen to the current readings? Explain.

The current readings will decrease . It is because current is indirectly proportional

With resistance between two points . So when the resistance increased , the current
Will decrease.

3. From Table 1.1, does the value of voltage drop change if the value of voltage supply is increased?
Why?

The value of voltage drop does not change although voltage supply is increased . It is because
There is only 1 resistor in that circuit so the value of resistance and resistance total will be same. If
we multiply with voltage supply value , we will get same value of voltage supply.

8.0 CONCLUSION (5 marks)

The relationship between voltage and current in an ideal conductor is described by Ohm's Law.
The potential difference (voltage) across an ideal conductor is proportional to the current flowing
through it, according to this relationship. The "resistance," R, is the proportionality constant. This
can be written as V=IR in an equation, which can then be used to find the other two variables.
(both I and R) The goal of graphing this lab experiment in part I was to determine the relationship
between current and voltage, and in part II, the relationship between current and resistance .
Current is indirectly proportional with resistance between two points . So when the resistance
increased , the current will decrease. As a conclusion,I learnt how to built a series and parallel
circuit using thinkercad software and also measure the voltage and current for series and parallel
circuit with the thinkercad software too.
