Title: Verification of the law of combination of resistance.
Objectives : To study the characteristic of resistance connected in series Compare the measured value with calculated value or resistor connected in series. Verify the same current flowing through all resistors that are connected in series. Verify the voltage is added for resistors connected in series. Apparatus: Digital multimeters(2), DC Power supplies, 0-15v(2), resistors and connecting Wires(3), circuit board(1) . Procedure:- Record the resistance of three resistors ( R1,R2 & R3) determined by measurement . Construct a series circuit with these resistors. Measuring the equivalent resistance Req. of the circuit by connecting the terminals of multimeter a cross the beginning of R1 and end R3. Then compare your measurement value with the determined y the equation Req = R1 + R2 + R3 Connect the power supply, using the multimeter measure the potential differences across all the resistance and the current following in the circuit. Then apply ohms law ( R = V/I) Measure the potential difference a cross each of the resistor and the potential difference. Do they add up to the voltage across the power supply? Calculate: a ) Experimental value Req = ____ohm. b) Theoretical value of Req = ___ohm. c) difference Data Observation
Trial No Current Potential difference Req = V/I
