7.1 Pre-Lab Assignment

1. What is the electrical current flowing through a circuit?


The term circuit refers to the simple flow of electrons in a circuit or electrical system
which is flow of charged particle such as electrons or ions moving through an
electrical conductor or space.
2. What is the potential difference or voltage across two points?
Potential difference is the charge in electrical potential or voltage, between two
points in space.

∆V = V B - V A

3. what is the meaning of resistance of a conductor ?


Resistance is defined as the property of a conductor to resist the flow of charges
through it.
4. What is an ammeter? a voltmeter? What is the major difference in the way one uses each
to measure electrical quantities in a simple electronic circuit? Be specific.
 Ammeter is an instrument for measuring electric current it is connected in
parallel with the circuit in which the current is to be measured.
 Voltmeter: - is an instrument for measuring electric potential it is connected in
parallel with the circuit which the voltage is to be measured.

7.2 Abstract

 To determine the unknown resistance of the given material of the wire and hence to
verify the ohm’s law
 measure the electrical resistance of a conductor and verify the Ohm’s Law.

7.3 THEORY
Today it is impossible to imagine a world without electricity. All our activities would almost
hamper in the absence of electricity. How were the basics of electricity understood? Where did
it all begin? Questions like these might be intriguing for you. The building blocks for
manipulating and utilizing electricity are voltage, current, and resistance. The energy transfer in
electrical circuits cannot be detected without the help of the instruments like ammeter,
voltmeter, etc. George Simon Ohm was a German physicist who proposed a relationship
between electrical current and potential difference. Ohm’s law states that if physical conditions
( temperature) of a conductor remains same, the potential difference across a conductor is
directly proportional to the current I flowing through the conductor. In other words the ratio of
voltage and current for a conductor (resistor) is constant and that is represented by a constant R;
known as the resistance of the conductor. If V is potential difference in volts and A is current in
amp then we can represent V = RI or R = V/I . The unit of R is Ohm.

7.4 Apparatus
Equipment Needed
variable D.C. power supply of suitable range may be
up to 10 V (This can be also combination of cells as
shown in the diagram)
different resistance wires or coils to be used as resistors
D.C. ammeter
D.C. Voltmeter
Off/On key
some connecting copper wires
A digital multi-meter for the alternate measurements of

7.5 PROCEDURE/ DATA COLLECTION
Procedure I
1. Joining the positive end of the battery to the positive terminal and the negative end to
the negative terminal Voltage
2. Starting from the minimum and adjusting the resistor
3. Recording every set of results of these experiment from the measurement value of
what is adjusted to the measured values of what is being changed due to these effect
Procedure II
1. Beginning from a relatively increased resistor with the some voltage adjustment than
the previous one
2. Recording all dates, the voltage that is altered to the current that is being affected as a
result
Procedure III
1. The same procedure is replicated except the resistor change
2. Again,recording the data seen on the circuit

 There is no error because the measured value R=50Ω turned out to be the same as the
calculated value and no percent of error.
 We can see from these trial that ohm’s law is the right assumption (confirms the validity
of ohm’s low)

7.7 Result
 The average values of resistances of different resistors are 50 Ω
 And the percentage errors are 0%
 The straight line nature of I-V curve verifies the ohms law

7.8 QUESTIONS

1. How are the voltmeter and ammeter placed in circuit for the measurement and why?

Ammeter is connected in series in circuit as it measures the current flowing through the
component whereas voltmeter is connected in parallel as it measures the voltage across
the two ends of conductor.

2. Which of the meter (voltmeter, ammeter) forces all the current into meter for the
measurement?
The ammeters is the meter that forces all the current into the meter for measurement.

3. Which meter has the largest resistance and why?


The ammeter has the smallest resistance among the two meters, while the voltmeter
has the largest resistance
4. Which meter measures the flow rate of electrons?
The meter that measures the flow rate of electrons or electric current,is the ammeter.

7.9 Conclusion
 As the aim of these experiment, ohms law is a theoretical equation that absolutely
statistics the clam that I (current) is directly proportional to the voltage, which we
finally confirmed the validity of these low by taking different trials.
