VERIFICATION OF OHM’S LAW
AIM: To measure the unknown resistance. Experimentally by volt – ammeter method.
APPARATUS:
S.No Meter Type Range Qty
1 Voltmeter MC (0-100)V 1
2 Ammeter MC (0-10)A 1
3 Rheostats WW R1 17Ω 1
Theory: As per ohm’s laws, when the temperature is constant, voltage drop across resistance
directly proportional to the current passing through it. Therefore the plot drawn between different
values of current ‘Ir’ and corresponding voltages ‘Vr” will be a straight line.
The slope of the line gives the value of unknown resistance.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. By varying source voltage in steps, the values of the current ‘Ir’ are noted.
3. The voltages ‘Vr’ corresponding to values of current ‘Ir’ are noted.
4. Resistance R= ‘Vr’/‘Ir’ is calculated for all values of ‘Ir’ and ‘Vr.’
5. A graph plotted for different values of current ‘Ir’ and corresponding voltages ‘Vr’ to
find the value of unknown resistance.
Observations:
S.No ‘Ir’ ‘Vr’ ‘Rr’
