Experiment 5 :Ohm’s Law

Theory

Ohm’s law defines the interrelationship between voltage(V), current(I) and resistance(R). That is, the voltage is proportional to the current and the resistance, and the current and the resistance are inversely proportional to each other Voltage means the potential difference between two points, meaning electro(current)-pressure, and the sign is “V” and the unit is V(Volt).

The current means the movement of electric charge, and the direction that it moves is determined as + direction. When the current flowing within unit time(sec) is expressed, it is indicated as “I” in sign, and in unit, it is expressed as A(Ampere). The resistance, expressed as "R", means the degree to which the flow of current is disturbed, and its unit is Ω(ohm). When the current of 1A flows under the voltage of 1V, the resistance of this circuit is 1Ω. If Ohm’s law is expressed as formula, it is as below.

V`=`I TIMES R,```I`=` {V} over {R} ,````R`=` {V} over {I}

Experiment Process

1. Connect R1 of Block a as in fig.1-6, and measure the current flowing through the circuit and record the result in table 1-4.

2. Measure the current flowing through R9 of Block f, and that flowing through R16 of Block k and record the result in the relevant columns

3. Calculate the current for each resistance by the formula and compare it to the measured value.
