Experiment Of Ohm's Law
Ohm's law states that under constant temperature, the current passing through conductor is directly proportional to potential difference applied across it.
Thus,
V= R×I
where
V- potential difference
R- resistance
I- Current
First the key K is closed and the rheostat Rh is adjusted to get the minimum reading in the ammeter A and voltmeter V. The sliding terminal of rheostat is then moved to increase the current gradually and each time the value of current I flowing in the circuit and the corresponding value of potential difference V across the resistance wire R, are recorded. In this way, different sets of values of V and I are recorded. Then for each set of values of V and I, the ratio V/I is calculated. The ration of V/I gives a constant value which is called resistance of the conductor.
