Ohms Law
- 02
Name of Experiment: – Verification of ohm’s law.
Objective:- State the relation between voltage, current and resistance by plotting V-I graph.
Apparatus required:-
Theory – Ohm’s law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor
this relation states that.
Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the the
voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance. I=V/R
Connect the battery eliminator, ammeter, given load resistor, voltmeter, and Rheostat
with key as per circuit diagram.
The ammeter is connect in series connection through the given load resistor.
The voltmeter is connect in parallel connection across the given load resistor.
Now “ON’’ the main switch of the circuit.
Now the adjuste rheostate is so that a constant current flows through the resistance.
Note down the ammeter reading I and the corresponding potential difference across
the resistor in the voltmeter as V.
Use the formula to calculate the resistance value of the resistance.
The experiment is repeated for different values of current and the corresponding
potential difference is noted calculate the value in each trial. These values will be found
to be a constant.
Observation table
Precautions-
1. Ammeter is always connected in series and voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load
in the circuit .
2. The electrical current should not flow the circuit for long time.
3. It should be care that the values of the components of the circuit is does not exceed to
their ratings (maximum value).
4. Before the circuit connection it should be check out working condition of all the
component.
Result: -by observing the observation table it is proved that the ratio of potential difference and
current is constant. Thus Potential difference at the ends of the conductor is directly
proportional to the current flowing through it. Thus Ohm’s law is verified by this
experiment.
