Introduction

Resistance (also known as ohmic

resistance or electrical resistance) is a
measure of the opposition to current flow
in an electrical circuit. Resistance is
measured in ohms, symbolized by the
Greek letter omega (Ω).

Aim

To verify the ohm’s law and hence determine the

unknown resistance of the given material of the
wire.

 Discussion

In this practical experiment, we learned from it the

method of measuring the electrical resistance of
the three specified methods, but the experiment
showed us that there may be a very slight
difference between the value resulting from Ohm’s
law, and the measurement with an ohmmeter
device.  And that there is a difference between
these two methods, and between the color code
method that is set industrially, and the reason for
.this is due to the Resistive loss
This effect (Resistive loss) is useful in some
applications such as incandescent lighting and
electric heating, but is undesirable in power
transmission. Common ways to combat resistive
loss include using thicker wire and higher
voltages. Superconducting wire is used in special
.applications
