Theory Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854), a German physicist, discovered Ohm’s law in 1826. This is an experimental law, valid for both alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) circuits. When you pass an electric current (I) through a resistance (R) there will be an electric potential difference (V) created across the resistance. Ohm’s law gives a relationship between V , I and R as follows. V=IR Units: V------> volt (v), I------> ampere (A), R-----> ohm or v/A For ohmic resistances, V versus I is a linear relationship, and they have a constant resistance. Resistance can be calculated using the Ohm’s law, R = V/I. The slope of the V versus I, line will also give the resistance, R. For non-ohmic resistances, V versus I is a non-linear relationship, and they have a varying resistance. The resistance at a particular point can be calculated using Ohm’s law, R = V/I, where V and I are the voltage and current at that point. Electric power, P is given by the following equation: Power = P = Voltage x Current. In order to investigate Ohm's law you will construct a circuit and measure the current through and voltage across the following: 5-ohm resistor, 10-ohm resistor, and light bulb. Circuit Diagram: What is a series circuit? In this circuit devices are connected in series, one after the another until all are connected together. What is a parallel circuit? In this circuit devices are connected across each other. Caution: Leave the power cord unplugged. Plug it in only after your circuit is checked by the instructor. First connect the following in a series as shown above: DC power supply, Rheostat, DMM as Ammeter (Blue- COM and A on a 2A scale), and unknown R (5-ohm resistor). Next, connect the second DMM (Black- COM and V on a 20V scale) across the unknown R as shown above.
