Lab 5: Currents
General Questions and Calculations
Voltage
1. Determine the voltage coming from the 3 prong DC wall plug.
Vwall = 5.118V
Resistance
2a. What's the minimum resistance of the rheostat?
16.4 Ω
2b. What's the maximum resistance of the rheostat?
1005M Ω
2c. Based on Ohm's Law [Eq. (1)], what will the current be if 5 volts is applied across a resistor of 1 Ohm? What would the current be if 5 volts was applied across a 0.1 Ω resistor?
5 A would be the current if 5 volts is applied across a resistor of 1 Ohm.
I=V/R = 5 volts / 1 Ohm = 5 A
50 A would the current be if 5 volts was applied across a 0.1 Ω resistor.
I=5 volts / 0.1 Ω = 50 A
Current
3. Total resistance in the circuit?
12.4 Ω is the total resistance in the circuit. If 5 Volts are applied to this amount of resistance, what current should you expect?
The current expected is 0.403 A if 5 volts are applied.
I= 5 volts / 12.4 Ohms = 0.403 A
Measure current (A)
0.06mA
Physical nature of resistance
Calculate the voltage drop across the rheostat.
4.9994 V.
VA = 5V
VB = 0.06 mA * 10 Ohms = 0.0006 V
V(rheostat) = VA - VB = 5 V - 0.0006 V = 4.9994 V
△
What do you expect the voltage drop across the long wire to be?
4.999256 V
V(rheostat) = 4.9994 V
△
VC = 2.4 Ohm * 0.06 mA = 0.000144 V
V(wire) = 4.9994 V - 0.0001444 V = 4.999256 V

Resistitivity, p = 1.583 * 10^-8 Ohms * m
1) What is that wire made of?
Silver.
2) Why does this wire exist?
Silver is high in conductivity compared to other metals, including copper. Due to this, it performs better than copper in conducting electricity. It is also has more endurance than copper.
Learning remarks
According to Ohm’s Law, the current through a wire is proportional to the voltage while also being inversely proproptional to the resistance.
A conductor opposes and electric current by a certain amount, which is the resistance.
