Week 2. To study the relationship between voltage and current with the help of Ohm's Law.
Introduction:
OBJECTIVE:
Main objective of this lab is to verify ohm’s law experimentally.
THEORY:
Ohm’s Law:
When current I flows through a resistor, then the potential difference V (often simply called voltage) between its terminals is proportional to I as in equation (1), where R is the resistance.
Basic Equation: V = R · I |
(1) |
Combinations of Resistors:
When two or more resistors ( R1, R2, R3,…) are connected in series then this combination is equivalent to a single resistor of resistance Req given by (2).
Basic Formula: Req = R1 + R2 + R3+. . . . . |
(2) |
When two or more resistors are connected in parallel then the equivalent resistance Req is given by (3).
Basic Formula: Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 . . . |
