Introduction In metallic conveyors at a consistent temperature and zero attractive field, the potential distinction over the finishes of the transmitter is corresponding to the present streaming and resistance of the conduit. That is V=IR. Vis the potential difference. I is the current coursing through and R is the resistance (measured in unit ohms). Materials that uncovered the direct relationship exemplified in Ohm's Law is finished up to be ohmic. At the point when a material is no more extended directly corresponding to current, it is then called non-ohmic material. Next is resistance. There are a few elements that influences resistance. To start with, the kind of material. Second, the length. Third, the cross sectional territory. Fourth, the temperature. In an arrangement circuit, at least two resistors are organized in one line. In an arrangement circuit the, the present going through every resistor is the same and the potential contrast, V, over every resistor is specifically relative to the estimation of R. In a parallel circuit, resistors are masterminded in at least two lines. In a parallel circuit the potential distinction, V, over every resistor is the same. The current, I , going through every resistor I conversely relative to the estimation of R.
Objective To investigate the relationship between current and voltage in Ohmic materials. To investigate the characteristic of resistor in series and parallel.

Procedure Part 1 Series Circuit
1. A series circuit with one 100Ω, 200Ω, 300Ω resistor is constructed on the circuit board with the power supply connected as shown in Figure 1. 2. The resistance of each resistor before you ON the power supply is measured. Then the equivalent resistance for the circuit is measured and recorded in Table A 3. A theoretical value of the equivalent resistance of the circuit is calculated and recorded in Table A 4. Using Ohm’s Law, the theoretical value of the voltage and current across each resistor is calculated assuming the power supply is 5V. Values are recorded in Table C and D . 5. With the voltage across the power supply set at 5 volts and ON, the voltage drop across each of the resistor is measured. The voltage drops are added. Record your reading in Table C. 6. The current across each resistor is measured using the DMM. The readings are recorded in Table D.

Discussions 1. The aggregate voltage over every one of the resistors in the series arrangement is 4.93 V. This shows that the experimental value is lower than the hypothetical esteem. The distinction is 0.07 V.
2. The aggregate current over every one of the resistors in the parallel circuit is 0.086 A. The trial esteem is lower than the hypothetical esteem. The distinction is 0.002 A.
3. The explanations behind the distinction between hypothetical esteem and exploratory esteem Is a result of the components that influences resistance which are the length of wires, the crosssectional zone of wires utilized.
Conclusion As expressed in Ohm's Law, current Is specifically corresponding to voltage. Resistance in this investigation has been kept steady, so the voltage over every resistor in the arrangement circuit relies on upon the estimation of resistance of every resistor, though the voltage over every resistor in the parallel circuit is the same. The current over every resistor in the arrangement circuit ( series ) is the same, though, the current over
every resistor in the parallel circuit relies on upon the estimation of resistance of every resistor.
