divider circuit. Apparatus: 1) Power supply. 2) A filament bulb. 3) A 50 ohms variable resistor. 4) A digital ammeter. 5) A digital voltmeter. 6) A one way switch. 7) Connecting wires. Activities: 1. Set up the apparatus as the following diagram.
2. Change the resistance of potentiometer so the voltage across the lamp will change. 3. Record the voltage and the current measured into the table.
Voltage (volts) Current (amps)
4. Repeat this step to collect 10 data. 5. Plot the V/I graph on the plotting sheet. 6. Explain how would you determine the resistance of the filament lamp by using the graph?
