EXPERIMENT : 1
(CLO)
THEORY:
OHM's LAW states that the direct current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to
the potential difference and inversely proportional to the resistance.
Where V or E = voltage, in volt. E stand for “electromotive force” which is the same as
voltage, and I = current, in amp, and R = resistance, in ohms.

1. Determine the values of the resistors used in this experirnent and record in Table 2.0
2. Construct the circuit as shown in Figure 2.1
3. Switch on the DC power supply and slowly adjust the DC voltage control knob
until the voltage drop across the resistor reads 2 V
4. Measure the current flowing in the circuit and record the reading in Table 2.1.
5. Increase the voltage drop across the resistor to 4 V and records the ammeter reading.
6. Repeat procedure 5 for an increasing voltage drop of 6 V and 8 V across the resistor
and records the ammeter readings.
7. Repeat the above procedures for resistors of 150Ω and 220 Ω
8. Record all the readings in Tables 2.2 and 2.3 respectively.
