ABSTRACT
This experiment emphasizes the necessity of a potential difference to generate an electric current. When a voltage is applied to a metal conductor, it causes the movement of charge, allowing electrons to flow. Materials with good conductivity easily transfer electrons, resulting in low resistance, while materials with poor conductivity transfer electrons less easily, leading to higher resistance. Wires, which act as a medium for charge movement, contain resistors that impede electron flow. Georg Ohm's experiments demonstrated that the potential difference applied to both ends of a resistor is directly proportional to the current, and this relationship remains constant regardless of the voltage (V). This relationship is known as Ohm's law, which holds true for many materials if the temperature remains constant.
Ohm's Law:
V = IR
The main goals of this experiment are to achieve the following: using a multimeter, measure the current and voltage at specific locations within a circuit; determine the resistance through different approaches using the current and voltage measurements; and verify the validity of Ohm's Law.
