Class, Section & Lab group:
This experiment was conducted with the primary objective of exploring the fundamental
relationships between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits through four distinct
activities. In Activity 1, as voltage was incrementally increased across a 120 Ω resistor (R1), the
data recorded clearly demonstrated that current increased proportionally, closely adhering to
Ohm's Law. A graph depicting voltage against current showcased a linear relationship, and the
calculated slope of this graph precisely matched the known resistance value of R1, validating the
experiment's accuracy. Activity 2 delved into the impact of resistance and voltage changes on
circuit current. While predictions were made for voltage and circuit current with varying
resistors, measured values closely mirrored expectations, with significant attention to resistor
tolerance, highlighting its practical implications in circuit design. Activity 3 introduced a parallel
circuit with two 100 Ω resistors and later included a third 10 Ω resistor to measure the current
through each resistor. The results demonstrated the expected behavior, confirming the hypothesis
that each resistor allowed a fraction of the total current to flow. The addition of a third resistor
further divided the total current among the resistors, aligning with parallel circuit principles. In
Activity 4, a complex series-parallel circuit was analyzed, and measured values closely matched
the predicted ones, reaffirming the practical applicability of Ohm's Law in real-world circuit
configurations. These results provided valuable insights into circuit behavior, confirming the
fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance as defined by Ohm's Law and
underscoring the importance of resistor tolerance in practical engineering. Overall, the
experiment successfully achieved its purpose, offering a comprehensive understanding of
electrical circuit behavior and validating the principles of Ohm's Law across various circuit
configurations.

Two batteries of nominal voltage 12 V are connected to a charger as shown in the figure below. The charger has an open-circuit voltage of 14 V and an internal resistance of 1.2 ohms.
Before being placed on charge one battery (A) has an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 12.1 V and an internal resistance of 0.1 Ohms; the other battery (B) has an open circuit voltage of 11.9 V and an internal resistance of 0.15 Ohms. At the end of the charging period the OCV of battery
(A) rises to 12.6 V, and the OCV of battery (B) rises to 12.5 V.
