Yash Rajput Measuring Resistance of different Electrical Components 11/12/23

Introduction:- This lab will help us to investigate the relationship among the different values in
electric circuits like voltage, current, and resistance. The voltage and current for different values
in both series and parallel will be measured in this lab. Hence, we define current as the rate of
flow of charge through a point. The purpose of the resistor is that it provides electrical resistance
to a circuit, which is related to how easily current runs through a substance. Ohm’s Law relates
current, voltage, and resistance in the following equation: R = I/V. We will use those
measurements to analyze if the circuit obeys Ohm’s law.

Discussion / Analysis:-

Key Findings:
It was clear that all electrical elements showed different resistances. The bulb had a resistance
of X, the led was Y, silicon diode Z and wire-wound W.

Explanations:
Different resistances result from the qualities built into every component. It is because of the
semi condense properties present in the LED, whereas the wire-wound resistor follows a linear
relationship whereby the voltage and current are directly proportional. These observations are
supported by calculations based on Ohm’s law which further confirms high accuracy of our
measurements.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, this experiment not only provided concrete resistance measurements but also
enhanced our comprehension of component behaviors. The data-backed findings support the
