Avinash Subramanian Partners: Medhini Kapa, Jalen Ross, TA: Done 8/29/2023 ; Submitted 9/5/2023 Ohm’s Law Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment was to verify Ohm's Law and determine the resistivity of a metal wire. Through doing this it will be possible to discover the specific material of the wire through the use of Ohm’s Law as well as several different deviations of this equation. After setting up the circuit, three trials were done to determine the potential difference between points A and B which is measured in Volts. These points were the ends of a meter stick (100 centimeter) and were measured with a voltage multimeter that had current adjusted 0.05 to 0.5 with 0.05 intervals to see the effect it had on Potential Difference which was proven to have a direct correlation with current (11.539x-0.3933) which matches the same correlation that exists within Ohm’s Law. The 2nd part of the experiment had three Current Values as I = 0.10; 0.20 ; and 0.40 A were compared with different lengths and had received resistivity values from each current value; the resistivity values ended up being (1.139x10^-6 ; 1.090x10^-6 ; 1.104x10^-6; all for 0.1,0.2, and 0.4 A respectively). These resistivity values were used to find that the metal used in this experiment was nichrome.
