3. State Ohm's law. Write the necessary conditions for its validity. How is this law verified
experimentally? What will be the nature of graph between potential difference and current
for a conductor? Name the physical quantity that can be obtained from this graph
Answers
Explanation:-
OHM'S LAW
According to ohm's law the potential difference applied across the conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through the cross - section of a conductor.
The condition for its validity are :-
- If the physical factors like temperatures and pressure remains constant.
The appliances which follows ohm's law is known as ohmic conductor.
To verified law experimentally.
Material Required :-
Voltmeter, ammeter, Rheostat.
Procedure:-
Connect Them With the D. C supply and measure the potential difference and current when the rheostat is fixed.
Now, measure the value by adjusting the rheostat.
Conclusion:-
You see that in every reading the ratio of potential difference and current remains constant.
Nature of Graph :-
The graph of potential difference and current is straight line.
The physical quantity which is obtained from this graph is Resistance.
Resistance :- It is the property of a conductor to resist the flow of electric current through it is called resistance.
- It's SI unit is Ohm.
Answer:
Ohm’s law states that the electric current flowing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the ends of the conductor provided the temperature remains constant.
Mathematically,
VαI
V=RI where R is the constant of proportionality called the resistance of the conductor.
The necessary condition is that the temperature ahould be constant. The nature of the graph is a straight line.The physical quantity that can be determined is the gradient of the straight-line graph which is related to the resistance (R) of the conductor.
