Verification of Ohm's Law
Objective: To verify the Ohm's law.
Statement of Ohm's Law:
Ohm’s law states that at a constant temperature, current 'I' through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage 'V', across the two points. That is,
V ∝ I (or) V/I = Constant = R (or) V = IR.
Thus, the ratio V : I is a constant. This constant is called as the resistance (R) of the conductor.
Graph:
After performing experiment for different readings of V & Iand recording the observations, if we plot current on the x-axis of a graph and voltage on the y-axis of the graph, we will get a straight-line. The gradient of the straight-line graph is related to the resistance (R) of the conductor.
According to Ohm's law,
- Current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across to its ends at constant temperature & physical conditions.
So, According to the definition
V ∝ I
V/I = constant
- Put the constant as “r” which indicates the resistance of the conductor.
R = V/I
V = IR
Where
- I = current flowing in the conductor
- V = potential difference applied across the conductor
- R = resistance of the conductor
- Unit of Resistance is called omega (Ω)
