INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1)

Ohms law establish, the voltage in a resistor is directly

proportional to the electric current across it, we can
demonstrate it with the equation
V = IR (1)
Where the proportionality constant is known as R.
Also, when it flows current across the resistor, it dissipates
energy, its represented with the equation
P = I2R (2)
The purpose of this report is to build 2 circuits which are
going to demonstrate the Ohms Law and how they affect the
circuit

FIRST CIRCUIT, BUILDING AND ANALYSIS

We build the first circuit using the next diagram:

Using the resistive color tables, the resistors were classified
for each color:

Table1: Resistor values (color codes).
Then we proceed to check the values on the multimeter, those
values were:

Table 2: Comparing the simulated data with the
multimeter measurements.
On the next part, the Voltages values across the resistor:
1.5 K, 1 k, 5.6 K, 4-7 K were calculated and then were
verified using the multimeter, the results show on the next
table:

Then, the voltages of the diodes checked in the multimeter,

were both 0.525 V
After this, 2 measurements were finished, we proceed to
implement different capacitors on parallel to the 10k resistor
to analyze the circuit behavior and how it affects the ripple
voltage.
We settled a sinusoidal source, with a frequency of 1 kHz and
a Vp=5V.

to different capacitances.

Then we analyzed the currents across the same resistors

CONCLUSIONS

Table4: Currents on the resistors-R1-R4

We can conclude that the Ohms Law its right because the
values of the voltages and currents of the analysis and the
measurements are almost the same

SECOND CIRCUIT , BUILDING AND ANALYSIS

The second part of the report is about a circuit using

resistors and how they affect the circuit
Si

The conclusions of increasing the voltage on the circuit 1

were that, the current is directly proportional to the voltage
used.
The conclusion of the second circuit was that Vo is lower
when you use capacitor with high values, because it absorbs
energy.
