This document describes an experiment conducted to verify Ohm's Law. Three resistors with values of 470 ohms, 1 kilohm, and 2.2 kilohms were used. The current through each resistor was measured at various voltages from 0 to 4.5 volts. Tables show the theoretical and measured current values along with the percentage deviation between them. While the measured values deviated somewhat from theoretical predictions, the results demonstrate a linear relationship between voltage and current, consistent with Ohm's Law. The slope of the linear relationship indicates that increasing resistance results in a steeper slope, in agreement with Ohm's Law.

Questions:
1. Does Ohm’s Law appear to hold in this exercise? Explain.

While doing this experiment I observe how important and what Ohm’s law can
do to help student like me I observe that it is the most applicable formula that
you can use to this it shows relationship between the current , voltage and
resistance even thought the theoretical value and measured value is a little bit off
to each other it still shows a relation between each other . you can observed that
an increase on different aspect of voltage and resistance affects the whole
experiment

2. Is there a linear relationship between current and voltage? Explain.

After the experiment I can conclude there are actually a correlation between the
2 and that it proves the usefulness of ohms law it demonstrate how ohms law
operate different voltage and current across different value of resistors

3. What is the relationship between the slope of the plot line and the circuit’s
resistance?

With the graph the slope is shown to be how is the resistance move with
different values it indicates that a higher or more steeper slope indicates an
increased of resistance in a circuit and if the slope is much lower it indicates low
resistance in a circuit.
LABORATORY REPORTS

TITLE OF THE EXPERIMENT: Ohm’s Law


DATE OF THE EXPERIMENT: December 20, 20233
NAME: Eusebio V Alto II BSEE-2A

ABSTRACT:
To gain data or to know more about Ohm’s law which describe that current is
directly proportional top voltage while resistance is is inversely proportional or in short to
show the connection between the 3. We did an experiment using 3 different value resistor
then get date of voltage and current with different value of voltage present and make a
comparison of theoretical and measured values.

LAB METHODOLOGY:
In this lab report the approach used is the experimental method we experimented with 3
different valued resistor and a power source built with 3 triple A batteries in a series
connection and one of the important things is the digital multimeter we used to know the
different answers or data. With this experiment we incrementally change the value of
voltage passing thru the resistor form 0.5 , 1.5, 3 and lastly 5.5V we also measured the
different currents passing thru the resistors.

Table 1.3 (Rx = 2.2 KΩ)


As you can observed with the 3 different table it shows the different current values and
it show the comparison to the calculated theoretical values based of ohms law. It also
shows the difference between the observe and the expected value it range from 23.68%
and 88.88% , and shows the relationship between voltage and current for different
resistor showing a pattern.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION:
With the experiment It proves the Ohm’s law, showing the relationship of current and voltage
when the resistant is non changing. There are some issues between the measured and the
theoretical values receive with the fault of some maybe small inaccuracy when performing
the experiment or faulty material or because of the difference resistance used .

In conclusion : with the different problem faced we still performed an successful experiment
showing the concept of ohm’s law which is the important task to this experiment. But still
there are problems I think to fix this inaccuracy we need to used more stable and much high
tech machine or equipment to get more accurate and reliable data that will benefit the
experimentalist more.
