OHM’S LAW Electronics and Instrumentations for Electro neurophysiology 1.1 2.2 Objectives 3. 2.1 1. 2.2 Verification of Ohm's law Determination of the equivalent resistance of two resistors Determine the equivalent resistance in Series Determine the equivalent resistance in Parallel Theory OHM’S LAW if a conductor is kept at a constant temperature, then the current passing through it is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends OHM’S LAW V = the potential difference across the conductor, measured in volts (V) I = The current passing through the conductor, measured in amperes (A) R = The proportionality constant, called the resistance of the conductor, and measured in ohms (Ω). 5 Resistance in Series When two resistances are connected as shown in Fig(1). they are said to be connected in series. In this case the V= V1+ V2 = І R1+ І R 2 Or V= І R Where is called the equivalent resistance Resistance in Parallel When two resistors are connected as shown in Fig.(2) they are said to be connected in parallel. In this case the And So V= І1 R1 = І2 R2 І = І1 + І2 = v/R1 + v/R2 І = v/R Where is called the equivalent resistance Apparatus Apparatus Multi-meter (AVO meter) Multi range voltmeter Various resistances (conductors) Ohmmeter Power supply Switch key (ON/OFF). General Procedure 1-Connect the circuit as shown in Figure . 2- Start with the minimum value of the input voltage, then record the reading of both voltmeter and ammeter. 3- Change the voltage value, then record the new readings of the ammeter. 4- Tabulate your results in the table. 5- Use a graph paper to plot a graph of V on y-axis versus I on x-axis. 6- Find the slope of the obtained line 7- Compare between Theoretical and experimental value of Requ.
