Procedure

Experiment

1. Let us go through the experiment of confirming Ohms Law.

1. Set DC voltage(0-30 V).
2. Set the Resistance Value(1 Kohm - 100 Kohm) .
3. Voltmeter is placed parallel to resistor and ammeter series with resistor.
4. Now note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for DC voltage.
5. Increase the DC voltage by 2 factor and note Voltmeter and Ammeter Readings. Keep resistance value
constant
6. Plot the V-I graph to verify Ohm's Law.
7. Repeat step 2 to 6 for another set of resistance value.
8. V versus I graph is a straight line.
9. Therefore from the graph we see that the resistance do adhere to Ohm’s law. Thus resistance is said to
be an Ohmic device.

2. Let us go through the experiment of confirming Ohms Law with Resistance in series.
1. Set DC voltage(0-30 V).
2. Here resistance are kept in series. Set the resistance R1(1 Kohm - 100 Kohm) value and set resistance
R2(5 - 15 Kohm).
3. Voltmeter is placed parallel with resistor and ammeter series with resistor.
4. Now note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for DC voltage.
5. Increase the DC voltage by 2 factor and note Voltmeter and Ammeter Readings. Keeping resistance value
constant
6. Plot the V-I graph to verify Ohm's Law
7. Repeat step 2 to 6 for another set of resistance value.

3. Let us go through the experiment of confirming Ohms Law with Resistance in parallel.
1. Set DC voltage(0-30 V).
2. Here Resistances are kept parallelly. Set the resistance R1 (100 ohm- 2 kohm) value and set resistance
R2(1 -30 kohm).
3. Voltmeter is placed parallel to resistor and ammeter series with resistor.
4. Now note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for DC voltage.
5. Increase the DC voltage by 2 factor and note Voltmeter and Ammeter Readings. Keeping Resistance value
constant
6. Plot the V-I graph to verify Ohm's Law.
7. Repeat step 2 to 6 for another set of resistance value.

Exploratory Experiment

1. Let us go through the experiment of confirming Non Ohmic Device.

1. Set DC voltage to 5 V .
2. Use the resistor of 100K ohms and a diode.
3. Voltmeter is placed parallel to Silicon diode and ammeter series with resistor.
4. Now note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for DC voltage 5V.
5. Decrease the Resistance as 75K, 51K, 24K and 10K Ohms and take the readings and note Voltmeter
reading across Silicon diode and Ammeter reading.
6. Plot the V-I graph and observe the change.
7. The Change is not simply proportional. V versus I graph is not a straight line.
8. Therefore from the graph we see that the diode does not adhere to Ohms law.Thus diode is said to be
non-Ohmic device.
