4 m (slope) = 0.040 (A/V); m = 6.9*10^-5 (A/V) - Based on your data conclude whether the virtual pencil was an ohmic element or not. As seen in the LoggerPro graph, the linear fit line is shows a linear I vs V ratio. This tells us that the virtual pencil is an ohmic element. If the graph would ’ ve shown a non-linear relationship, then the element would not be ohmic. B. Virtual pencil lead (VP) ρ = 4.2*10^-4( Ω∙m ); R VP = 24.99 Ω D = 0.6 ( mm );

11 DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION ( 10 points ): The purpose of this lab was to simulate DC circuits to learn more about Ohm ’ s Law and find out the resistance of pencil lead. We also explored Kirchhoff ’ s current and voltage laws in a DC circuit, to discover more about the maximum power transfer. We started with the PhET Lab in part 1, in which we designed a circuit with a pencil. This was designed to determine the resistance of the pencil lead. This circuit included: a battery with internal resistance of 9 ohms, a switch, a pencil with lead to simulate resistance, an amp meter, and a voltmeter. We tested 5 values between 20.0-100.0V. It was found that current is proportional to voltage, as seen by the linear nature of Figure 2. This linear nature also tells us that lead in the pencil is an Ohmic element. The plots in figure 2 show that the theoretical resistance of the simulated pencil lead was 24.99 ohms. We were then given values for a real pencil, and the calculations for resistance of the real pencil came out to be 12.19 ohms. In part 2, we created a simple DC circuit which contained 2 loops, each had 1 battery and 1 resistor. These loops were connected with a diagonal wire, and a third resistor. We measured the voltages and currents for each loop. Using Kirchhoff ’ s laws, we found that the sum of the voltages in each loop equaled a value very close to 0V (theoretically should be exactly 0), and the sum of the currents at junctions A and B, also had a value of 0A. We then created another simple DC circuit, with an 8V battery with an internal resistance of 4 ohms, and another resistor. With the second resistor, we simulated load resistance by changing the ohmage in increments of 1 ohm from 1-10 ohms, then increments of 10 from 10-60 ohms. With each change in ohmage, voltage and current were measured, in order to calculate the power of the resistor (P=  battery *I). The plot followed the trend of P=(64.14*R)/(R+4.01)^2, which is the same as P=I^2*R, where I=V/R. In this plot (figure 5), it is shown that the maximum load resistance is 4.01 ohms, and the resistance of our simulation was 4 ohms. This proved the theory of maximum power transfer. These two parts of the lab accurately convey the Ohm ’ s Laws and Kirchhoff ’ s Voltage and Current laws and have proven them to be true.
