Procedure

  • Switch on the main supply.
  • Set DC voltage at say 1.0 V , note down the reading of voltage and current.
  • Increase DC voltage in step by step from 1.0 V to 5.0 V and note down reading of voltage and current.

  • Observe the reading of voltage and current.
  • If the voltage increases, current increases linearly.
  • Calculate the ratio of V to I for each reading.
  • Draw a graph for V ( Y – axis ) and I ( X – axis ).

Conclusion

  • The electric current passes through conductor is directly proportional to potential difference across it. 
  • The ratio of V to I remains constant considering temperature and other consider unaltered.
