DISCUSSION
Ohm's Law is often referred to as the foundation of circuit analysis and is expressed
by the formula,
This equation simply states that a current I flows through an electric device having
a resistance R when a voltage E is applied across this device. Two useful
expressions can be derived from Ohm's Law, namely,
1- 2
Note that the polarities marked on standard analog meter terminals must
be observed to obtain a positive (up-scale) reading. If the connections are
reversed, the reading will be negative (the pointer will deflect in the
negative direction).
The ampere ( A) is the unit of measure for electric current flow and
current is measured with an ammeter. Ammeters are always connected in
series with the circuit as shown in Figure 1-4. They have low internal
resistance to minimize the addition of extra resistance to the circuit.
Polarities must also be observed when connecting an analog ammeter to
ensure that the pointer deflects in the proper direction.

3. Does the voltmeter input have a much higher resistance than the current
input? Why?
Yes, it is so. Volt meter has high resistance so that, all the voltage drops across it,
and no current flows through it. while Ammeter has low resistance, so all the current
passes through it and No Current is dissipated in ammeter
4. Install the Power Supply, data acquisition module, and Resistive Load
module in the EMS Workstation.
5. Make sure the main power switch of the Power Supply is set to the O
(OFF) position and the voltage control knob is turned fully
counterclockwise (ccw).
Ensure the Power Supply is connected to a three-phase wall receptacle.
6. Ensure the USB port cable from the computer is connected to the data
acquisition module.
7. Set up the circuit shown in Figure 1-5. Connect input E1 of the data

11. Verify that the measured values have been stored in the Data Table.
12. Click on the Graph button to display the Graph window. Make the
following selections
Y-axis: I1 (IS)
Table of Question 12
X-axis: E1 (ES)
13. In the Graph window, make sure the line graph format and the linear scale
are selected. A graphical plot of the data should be displayed in the
Graph window.
Graph is attached on last page of document
14. Does the graph of this data show that the current doubles, triples, etc. when
the voltage doubles, triples?
Yes
15. Calculate the ratio ES / IS for several of the voltage/current values. Is the
ratio approximately equal to the value of the resistor used in the
circuit?
Yes
16. Calculate the ratio ES / R1 using the data in the last row of the data table
(100 %). Is it equal to the value of IS?

17. Change the resistance value to the value given in the following table. Turn
on the Power Supply and adjust the voltage to obtain the current IS given in the

19. You will now use voltage and current measurements to determine the
equivalent resistance of a circuit. Using the same circuit setup, turn
on the Power Supply and set the voltage control knob at
approximately 50%.
Select a parallel combination of resistors on the Resistive Load
module that will allow a current approximately equal to the current
given in Table 1-1 to flow in the circuit.
20. Calculate the circuit resistance using ES and IS.

21. Turn the voltage control fully ccw, and turn off the Power Supply.
Disconnect the circuit, taking care not to change the position of the
selector switches on the Resistive Load. Use an ohmmeter to
measure the equivalent resistance of the module.

23. Ensure that the Power Supply is turned off, the voltage control is fully
ccw, and remove all leads and cables.
CONCLUSION
You used voltage and current measurements to demonstrate Ohm's Law,
and you determined unknown voltage, current, and equivalent resistance
values. Also, you saw that Ohm's Law can be used to predict circuit
values for voltage, current, and resistance.

A voltmeter with an internal resistance of 100 000 ohms has less effect
on circuit operation than one with an internal resistance of 1 000 000
ohms?
True.
False.
It depends on the circuit voltage.
There is no difference.
