Name: Partner: Date: 4 Ohm's Law Introduction A resistor is a circuit element described by Ohm's Law: V = IR (4.1) where V is the voltage difference across the resistor in Volts, I is the current flowing through the resistor in Amps, and R is the resistance of the resistor in Ohms (). A potential difference (such as a battery in a circuit) causes current to flow from a higher to a lower potential. Current is defined as the amount of positive charge moving through a particular region per unit of time, i.e. dQ I = at (4.2) and has units of C/s = Amps (A). Resistance is a material property that opposes the flow of current. The resistance of a partic- ular circuit element is given by R1 R2 ( a ) R = - PL A (4.3) R 1 where p is the resistivity, L is the length, and (b) A is the cross-sectional area. R2 Two circuit elements are connected in series R2 R1 when there is only one choice for the shortest path between them (Fig. 4.la). When two re- sistors are connected in series, the total resis- R 3 tance is increased and given by Fig. 4.1: Resistor circuit with two resistors connected in (a) series, (b) parallel, and (c) Rseries = R1 + R2 (4.4) combination of parallel and series Circuit components connected in series will al- ways have the same current flowing through them, and the sum of the voltage drops across all elements must equal the battery voltage. Two circuit elements are connect in parallel when there is more than one choice for the shortest path between them (Fig. 1b). When two resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance is always less than any of the single components and is given by Rparallel = ( R + R2 ) - 1 (4.5) 35Part 3: Circuit board using light bulb . Set up the circuit so that the light bulb is connected to the power source and voltage sensor is reading the voltage across the bulb. Note - ensure the signal generator is set to "Auto" mode for this part. . Record a data run and observe what happens to the graph. 4. Based on the I-V graph of the light bulb at low frequency, what happens to the resistance as the voltage changes? Why is this? [10 pts] . Now open the signal generator options and increase the frequency to 50 Hz. Record a new data run, add a title, and print the graph. [5 pts] 5. Based on the I-V graph of the light bulb at high frequency, what happens to the bulb resistance as time passes? Why is this? [10 pts] 6. Does the light bulb become Ohmic at any point? How do you know? [5 pts] . Be sure to unplug all wires from your circuit board and interface, neatly arrange your equip- ment for the next class, and turn off the interface before leaving lab. 39Results and Conclusions (20 pts) Briefly summarize the objective of today's lab as well as the results of your experiment. State any applicable errors you calculated and give AT LEAST two possible reasons your results deviated from theoretical values. If the experiment was purely qualitative (i.e. you did not calculate a % difference or % error), you may replace the two sources of error with two SPECIFIC concepts from lecture that the experiment demonstrated. Objective: Results: Report part 2 results and the percent error /difference of the experiment Sources of error: The deviation of our measurements from theory could be attributed to 1. 2.

[5 pts] Circuit components connected in parallel will always have the same voltage drop across them, but the sum of the currents in each parallel branch must equal the current entering the junction. In non-Ohmic devices, the V vs. I graph is not linear, i.e. the voltage and current values do not obey Ohm's Law. These graphs often show hysteresis, where the plot does not retrace itself as the controlled variable is increased and decreased. In the case of a light bulb filament, the resistance changes as the filament heats and cools. Experiment .
