Ohm’s Law

Verify Ohm’s law by measuring the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

Voltage = Current * Resistance

1) Select a 1kΩ (Brown, Black, Red) resistor from your kit and measure it’s resistance using your Ohm meter.

Resistance Measured:__________________________

2) Connect your 9V battery across the resistor and measure the voltage using your voltage meter.

Voltage Measured:__________________________

3) Connect your current meter in mA mode and measure the current in the circuit.

Current Measured:__________________________

4) Verify Ohm’s law by calculating the resistance, voltage, and current based on the measured values. Compare the calculated results to the measured values.

Resistance = Voltage / Current =__________________________

Voltage = Current * Resistance =__________________________

Current = Voltage / Resistance =__________________________
