1 İzmir University of Economics EEE 0 Fundamentals of Electrical Circuits Lab EXPERMENT Ohm s Law A. Background When a voltage over a resistor is applied, there will be a flow of electrons through the resistor, called current. Georg Simon Ohm (7898), a German scientist, discovered that there is a linear relationship between the voltage over the resistor and the current through, i.e., v = R as in Fig... i(t) v(t) R v(t) = R i(t) Fig... He published his work in the book entitled 'Die galvanische Kette, mathematische bearbeitet' in 87. The S unit of the electrical resistance, the Ohm, is named after him. The Ohm s law may also be written as: v(t) i(t) = R or neglecting the time dependence simply v = R i The units of the quantities in Ohm s law are given in Table.. Table. Quantity Symbol Unit Unit Symbol Current i, Ampere A oltage v, or e, E olt Resistance r, R Ohm Ω

2 For an electrical component, the graphics of voltage (v) as a function of current (i) is called vi characteristics of the component. For a resistor, the vi characteristics is a linear curve. The slope of the line is R, as shown in Fig... v i R v slope=r i Fig... The vi characteristics of a resistor To obtain the vi characteristics of a resistance value of = x 0 Ω, different values to i are assigned and the values of corresponding voltages are measured (or calculated) as in Table.. Table. Current (A) oltage () ( = R ) 0 0 x 0 x 0 x x 0 = x 0 x 0 x x 0 = x 0 x 0 x x 0 = x 0 x 0 x x 0 = x 0 x 0 x x 0 = The values listed in Table.. are plotted in Fig..., volts, 0 A, ma Fig...
