Objectives:
1. Verify Ohm's law.
2. Determine the relationship for voltage and current for constant resistance.
3. Determine value of resistance from slope of I-V characteristic curve.
Materials:
 DC variable voltage power supply
 Multimeter
 Resistor – 100Ω
 Wires and connectors
 Plug-in board

Theory:
The Ohm's law states that "If the physical conditions (temperature, size, and
pressure) of a conductor are met, the electric current flowing through it is directly
proportional to the potential difference at its ends.
The conductor does not change."
If I represent the current flowing through a conductor and V represents the potential
difference between its endpoints, then
according to Ohm's Law, I V [or] V I.
V = I R, where R is the proportionality constant. It's referred to as conductor

resistance, or R = V/I.
R is determined by the conductor's material, temperature, and size.

The potential difference 'V' is measured in [volt], the current 'I' is measured in
[ampere], and the resistance 'R' is measured in [ohm] in S.I. units.

Procedure:
1. Build a circuit of DC supply voltage Vs=10v and 100Ω resistor (as shown
in Figure 1) using Multisim Electronics Workbench. Connect a multimeter
between the terminals of resistor and set it to read resistance. Click the
Simulation Switch to run analysis. Record the value of resistance R1 in
Table 1.
2. Build the circuit (as shown in Figure 1). Set Vs=10V and R1=100Ω. Record
voltage (V1) across resistor (R1) by connecting a multimeter in parallel to
it. Record the value of the current (I) flowing through R1 by connecting
another multimeter in series to R1. Note down the values in Table 1. From
the voltage and current readings verify Ohm's law (V1)=(R1)(I1).
Considering multimeter reading as reference, calculate the percentage
error.
%error = | (′Multimeter Reading′−′Multisim Reading′ )/( ′Multimeter Reading′) | × 100%.
3. Vary the DC supply voltage Vs in steps of (2v) and record current in each
case. Enter your results in Table 2.
4. Using Table 2 data's, plot V - I in a separate graph sheet (both workbench

and hardwired).
Calculate the value of resistor based on the slope of the V-I characteristic
curve.

QUESTIONS:
1. Calculate the value of resistor based on the slope of the V-I

characteristic curve.
The Answer: (Work Bench)

R= slope = y2-y1/x2-x1  = 4V-2V/0.04A-0.02A
 R=100 Ω
(Hard Wired)
R = slope = y2-y1/x2-x1  = 2V-0V/0.0118A-0A
 R=169.4 Ω
2. How could you tell if the resistances are linear or not?
The Answer: When V and I both of them increase or decrease

We say the resistance is linear. When V increases
and I decreases or when V decreases and I
increases the resistance is non-linear.
