    The document summarizes an experiment to verify Ohm's Law. It includes: 1) Objectives to determine the relationship between voltage and current for resistors. 2) A discussion of Ohm's Law and how it applies to circuits where voltage is directly proportional to current. 3) Tables showing the experimental results which verify that voltage is directly proportional to current and that resistance remains constant for different currents as predicted by Ohm's Law.

    I. Objectives

    To determine the relationship between the voltage across resistors and he current flowing
    through it.

    II. Discussion of Related Physics Concept

    In our everyday life, electronic circuits have entered our way of living. In these devices,
    certain properties of the material should be thoroughly studied. One of the most important concepts
    that is commonly used in these brilliant devices is the Ohm’s law. Ohm’s law is the assertion that
    the potential difference (V) of a circuit or device is directly proportional to the current (I) passing
    through the device or circuit. However, the word “law” should be in question since it has been
    found that not all materials follow Ohm’s law. However, we will not dissect the properties that
    makes a material to not follow the Ohm’s law. The assertion of Ohm’s law makes sense because
    of the equation V = IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current in ampere, and R is the resistance.
    However, V = IR is not really the equation for Ohm’s law but the equation that is defines resistance,
    whether the material does or does not follow Ohm’s law. In this experiment, the material chosen
    are those that follow Ohm’s law.

    Ohm’s law is defined by the equation V = IR.


    VI. Answers to Questions:

    1. Calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through the resistor in this circuit
    𝑽
    Using the equation 𝑽 = 𝑰𝑹, we can derive the necessary formula for (I): 𝑰 = 𝑹.
    Since the potential difference V and resistance R were already given, 12V and 470Ω
    respectively, the current can now be readily solve by substituting the given in the formula:

    𝑉
    𝐼=
    𝑅
    12𝑉
    𝐼=
    470Ω

    𝑰 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟐𝟓𝟓 𝑨

    2. What is the value of this resistor, in ohms (Ω)?


    𝑽
    With the equation 𝑽 = 𝑰𝑹, it can be rearranged to find the resistance (Ω): 𝑹 = 𝑰 .
    The potential difference (V) and current (I) were already given, 12.3V and 4.556 milliamps.
    By substitution, it is now possible to find the resistance (Ω) but convert, first, the milliamps
    to amps:

    1 𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠 = 1000 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠

    1 𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠
    4.556 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠 × = 𝟒. 𝟓𝟓𝟔 × 𝟏𝟎−𝟑 𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒔
    1000 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠

    With the conversion, we can now substitute:

    𝑉
    𝑅=
    𝐼
    12.3𝑉
    𝑅=
    4.556 × 10−3 𝐴

    𝑹 = 𝟐𝟔𝟗𝟑. 𝟖𝟐𝟑𝟗 Ω
