Rishav Dugar 19IM3FP30: Name: Roll Number

Rishav Dugar conducted an experiment to familiarize himself with resistors, capacitors, and inductors. He used resistors, a voltage source, connecting wires, a voltmeter, ammeter, and diode. He measured the current and voltage characteristics of resistors in series and parallel, and found that Ohm's law applied. However, when he measured a diode, he found it did not follow Ohm's law, showing it was a non-ohmic component. He concluded that resistors follow Ohm's law in series and parallel, but diodes do not based on their voltage-current graph.

1. Aim of the experiment a) Familiarisation with Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor


b) Understanding Ohm’s Law

2. Tools used: Resistors, voltage source , connecting wires , voltmeter , ammeter ,


diode

3. Background knowledge (brief):


A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element. It offers hindrance to the flow of electrons. It is measured
in ohms where 1 ohm is the resistance offered when 1 A current flows across a potential
difference of 1 V.
In series R = R1 + R2 (current flow is same)
In parallel 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 (potential difference is same)

A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. The effect of a


capacitor is known as capacitance. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a
constant capacitance C, in farads in the SI system of units, defined as the ratio of the
positive or negative charge Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them. A
capacitance of one farad (F) means that one coulomb of charge on each conductor
causes a voltage of one volt across the device. It resists potential change across it.

An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical


component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it.It
resists the change of current flowing through it and is in compliance to Lenz’s Law. An
inductor is characterized by its inductance, which is the ratio of the voltage to the rate of
change of current. 1 henry(H) is self-inductance of that coil in which 1V emf is produced
when the rate of change of current in that coil is 1 A/s.

Each of these components serve various roles in the electronics and are available in
different types. Their values are usually colour-coded on them.

Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly
proportional to the voltage across the two points. Such a conductor is characterized by
its ‘Resistance’ – R measured in Ohms. The devices which follow Ohm’s law are called
Ohmic devices like resistors while those that don’t follow are called Non-ohmic devices
like diodes, transistors etc.

7. Conclusion

Ohm’s law is followed by resistors in series and parallel connections too.


Diodes are non-ohmic elements as is evident from their V-I characteristics.

8. Discussions
Resistors, capacitors and inductors are some of the basic passive elements of the
circuit. Capacitors and inductors can be used as energy storing elements through
electric field and magnetic field respectively.
Non-ohmic components have resistance that is a function of external and internal
factors like current, temperature etc.
