EXPERIMENT NO#3

To measure the power of resistive work .

Objective:-

Our objective is to calculate power experimently of a resistive work.

Apparatus:-

 resistor
 Multimeter.
 D.C power supply.

Theory:-

ThePower isthetimerateofexpendingorabsorbingenergy,measuredinwatts(W).

P=VI

By measuring the power of resistive network, we can find out how much load a circuit can bear
without any damage i.e Short circuit. It is very useful in fitting the electricity wires in buildings.
If electricity wires are fitted in buildings without knowing the power of resistive network, it
could prove to be very lethal for people living there

V= constants

Procedure:-

By circuit diagram ,I connect the circuit elements and check the all elements.

First I took the resistance constant ,and by taking the different values of voltage I
took the different values of currents.

By the values, I calculate power by the formulas,

Then by taking voltage constant and taking the different resistors I calculated the
current values and then calculate power,
