OBJECTIVE Determine the mathematical relationship between current, resistance in a simple circuit. potential difference, and MATERIALS Multi meter, lab quest, clips to hold wires, 2 resistors of different resistance, power amplifier and accessories PROCEDURE 1. With the power amplifier turned off, connect the circuit as shown in figure. The ammeter current range must not exceed_200_mA, The voltmeter voltage range must not exceed__200 Volts. The resistance of the resistor R is 1 ohm and 100 ohm. Note: Attach the red connectors electrically closer to the positive side of the power supply. Have Lab Tech/TA check the arrangement of the wires before proceeding _ Turn on the switch. Adjust / increase the output voltage of the power amplifier from Oto _U.% _insteps of _0.2__as indicated in Table 1. Record the corresponding reading of the voltmeter and ammeter on 2% and 3° column respectively. Measure the resistance of the resistor using multi meter. Repeat the process until you finish all of the S runs. ‘Compute for the value of the resistance by dividing the voltmeter reading to the ammeter reading. 7. Compare this computed value of the resistance with the 1 ohm resistance used in the circuit. 8. With the power amplifier off, replace the first resistor with the second resistor 9. Turn - on the power amplifier again and repeat steps 1— 6 using the second resistor. CAUTION: This time increase the voltage from Oto _0.2__Vin steps of 0.8 V WN oye DATA TABLE Fill the following table with the data collected with your experiment.
