Name: Micah Ndango Date: November 16, 2023 Lab 07 – Ohm’s Law 1. If resistance remains constant and the voltage doubles, what happens to the current? What type of relationship do you believe exists between voltage and current? Answer: If the resistance remains constant and the voltage doubles, then the current also doubles. I believe the relationship between the voltage and the current is inversely proportional. 2. If voltage remains constant and the resistance doubles, what happens to the current? What type of relationship do you believe exists between current and resistance? Answer: When the resistance is doubled and the voltage remains constant, the current decreases by half. I believe the relationship between the current and the resistance is inversely proportional. Data Table 1 Current (mA) Voltage (V) Current (mA) Voltage (V) 5.0 1.5 20.0 6.0 10.0 3.0 25.0 7.5 15.0 4.5 30.0 9.0 Data Table 2 Current (mA) Voltage (V) Current (mA) Voltage (V) 2.5 1.5 10.0 6.0 5.0 3.0 12.5 7.5 7.5 4.5 15.0 9.0 Data Table 3 R (ohms) Current (mA) R (ohms) Current (mA) 100 45.0 600 7.5 200 22.5 700 6.4 300 15.0 800 5.6 400 11.3 900 5.0 500 9.0 1000 4.5 3. Do the experimental data confirm that the electric current in a resistor is directly proportional to the electric potential provided by the batteries? Answer: Yes, the experiment does confirm that the electric current in a resistor is directly proportional to the electric potential provided by the batteries.
4. Do the experimental data confirm that the electric current is inversely proportional to the resistance for a fixed electric potential? Answer: Yes, the experiment does confirm that the electric current is inversely proportional to the resistance for a fixed electric potential.
