Method
Construct the circuit shown
on Page 320.
Part 1
Use the ohmic resistors as the
electrical load.
Connect resistor #1 (brownblack-brown). Take voltmeter
and ammeter readings for 1, 2,
3, and 4 cells.
TABLE 1
Connect resistor #2 (red-redblack). Take voltmeter and
ammeter readings for 1, 2, 3,
and 4 cells.
TABLE 2
Part 2
Use the light bulb as the
electrical load.
Connect the light bulb. Take
voltmeter and ammeter
readings for 1, 2, 3, and 4
cells.

Calculations & Graphing
Calculate the Resistance
You have recorded V and I
V
 Remember: R = V_
I
R
I
Graph Voltage (y-axis) versus Current (xaxis) of all three electrical loads on one
sheet of graph paper
