ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I Wish to thank my ever loving parents

without whose continuous support,
encouragement and never ending love
this project could ever seize to exist.
I would like to express my sincere
gratitude to my chemistry teachers mrs .
RINI who inspired me and my partner in
this project, to work with this topic.
Finally, I submit my gratefulness to the
lord almighty without whose grace and
blessings this project would not be

INTRODUCTION
Ohm's Law deals with the relationship between voltage and
current in an ideal conductor. This relationship states that:
The potential difference (voltage) across an ideal
conductor is proportional to the current through it.
The constant of proportionality is called the "resistance", R.
Ohm's Law is given by:
V=I
R
Where V is the potential difference between two points which
include a resistance R. I is the current flowing through the
resistance.
Material that obeys Ohm's Law is called "ohmic" or
"linear" because the potential difference across it varies

linearly with the current.

Ohm's Law can be used to solve simple circuits. A complete
circuit is one which is a closed loop. It contains at least one
source of voltage (thus providing an increase of potential
energy), and at least one potential drop i.e., a place where
potential energy decreases. The sum of the voltages around
a complete circuit is zero.
An increase of potential energy in a circuit causes a charge
to move from a lower to a higher potential (i.e. voltage).
Note the difference between potential energy and potential.
Because of the electrostatic force, which tries to move a
positive charge from a higher to a lower potential, there
must be another 'force' to move charge from a lower
potential to a higher inside the battery. This so-called force is
called the electromotive force, or emf.
The SI unit for the emf is a volt (and thus this is not really a
force, despite its name). We will use a script E, the symbol ,
to represent the emf.
A decrease of potential energy can occur by various means.
For example, heat lost in a circuit due to some electrical
resistance could be one source of energy drop.
Because energy is conserved, the potential difference across
an emf must be equal to the potential difference across the
rest of the circuit. That is, Ohm's Law will be satisfied:

EXPERIMENT
Apparatus:
1. 4 varied value of resistors
2. Power supply
3. Connecting wires
4. Multimeter Variables: Independent: Resistance Dependent:
Current Controlled: Electromotive force Procedures:
1. Set up the apparatus to be the circuit as shown in diagram
of hypothesis.
2. Set the value of electromotive force into 3 V.
3. Put the 12-ohm resistor and see the value of current in the
Multimeter.
4. Change the 12-ohm resistor with 82 and 470-ohm resistor
variedly and repeat step 3.
5. Change the value of electromotive force into 6 V.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (use 56-ohm resistor instead of 12ohm resistor, because the value of 12-ohm resistor is too
small for 6V of electromoti ve force).
