Experiment No. 3
1. Objective(s):
The activity aims to verify the relationship of voltage, current, and resistance in a simple electric circuit
3. Discussion:
For a simple DC circuit, German physicist George Simon Ohm had observed another relationship to the
resistance of an object. He noted that for a fixed load in a circuit at a constant temperature, when the
voltage is increased the current across the load also increased. Consequently, as the voltage is lowered
across the load, current reading is also lowered.
Therefore, he arrived at the conclusion that current is directly proportional to voltage. And when
the ration between voltage and current was computed, it has been found out that it is approximately equal
to the resistance of the load. Thus Ohm’s Law states that: “The ratio between voltage and current is
always constant and is equal to the resistance of the load. (At a constant temperature)”.

7. Conclusion:
According to Ohm's law, the voltage across two places is proportional to the current flowing
through a conductor between them. The relationship between current and resistance is that current is
inversely proportional to the resistance which justifies the results of the data as shown in graph.
Furthermore, the relationship of voltage and current is that the current is directly proportional to voltage
which justifies the data results as shown in graph 2 which we can see in the equation of V = IR.
