A-1 ABSTRACT 1 Title: Ohm’s Law Date: Author: Lab partners: N/A 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. 1
