Verification of Ohm’s Law
Aim: To verify Ohm’s Law for an electrical circuit.
Apparatus:
1. Ohm’s Law Kit
2. DC Voltmeter
3. DC Ammeter
4. Connecting Wires
Theory:
Georg Simon Ohm, a Physicist and Mathematician from Germany proposed the Ohm’s
Law in the year 1827.
Ohm’s Law states that the Current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to
the Potential Difference or Voltage between the two ends of the conductor, when the
Temperature, Pressure and Physical Parameters of the conductor remains constant or
unchanged.
I ∝V
==> I=G ∗ V
1
==> I=
R
∗ V
==> V = IR
Here, V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
G = Conductance
Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The supply is given to the circuit by turning ON the switch.
3. By varying the supply voltage (3V, 6V, 9V), the readings of Voltmeter (V) and Ammeter
(I) are noted down at different voltages.
4. The supply is removed to the circuit by turning OFF the switch.
