This document describes an experiment to measure resistance of a lamp filament as voltage is increased from 2 to 12 volts using an NI Elvis machine. The procedure connects the filaments in series and uses a digital multimeter to measure voltage and current at each voltage level. Resistance is then calculated using Ohm's Law. Results are recorded in a table and show that as voltage increases, current also increases. The calculated resistances vary because the filament resistance increases as it heats up with more voltage. Comparing the experimental and theoretical resistances at 2 volts shows some difference, likely due to resistance change from heating of the filaments.

EE 282- Circuits I

Name:

WSU ID:

Department:
Objective:

The extrinsic of this work is to teach how to usage ohm’s litigation to rate resistance after
measuring the passable and voltage through an hot Filament while increasing from 2 volts to 12
volts.Then, we will compare both data , like the experimental data and the theoretical data. To
do that, the first extrinsic was to erect a small circulate second-hand the NI Elvis Machine where
the two filaments in a DC shining automotive lamp were connected in series, and utility the
built in NI digital multimeter to measure the common and voltage surpassingly through the
lamp at every voltage occupy. Then, calculate resistance with help of ohm’s Law. The aid goal
was to acquire the theoretical resistance with the practical resistance using the hand-held
multimeter a 2 volt of occupy voltage.

Procedure:

1. Then afterward settling on beyond any doubt that the NI Elvis instrument was
switched off, an alligator clip was plugged into banana A and
connected to the positive terminal of one of the lamp filaments and in
the board a jumper wire was used to connect the banana A to the
variable power supply (supply +).
2. Then, on the board, an additional jumper wire might have been associated starting with
banana b of the ground variable force supply. In turn banana link might have been
associated starting with those com jack will banana B jack.
3. In place on associate the ammeter in series, another alligator clip might have been
used to associate the ammeter jack of the second sure terminal of the light (the other
filament).
4. To set that voltmeter for parallel in the circuit, in turn croc cut might have been used to
interface that v jack of the certain terminal for a standout amongst those filaments.
5. That NI instrument flying might have been turned on.
6. Also on the PC, those advanced multimeter and the variable control supplies were opened
in the elvis launcher.
7. Those variable force supply (supply +) might have been balanced should 2 V, and the
voltage Also present were measured.
8. Following each voltage Also present perusing those supplied voltage might have been
expanded toward 2 volt.
9. The information gathered might have been recorded to a table to constantly on voltages
supplied from 2 volts should 12 volts.
10. In place to measure those voltage and present at 15V from claiming supplied voltages, the
jumper wire that associate banana a with supply+ might have been moved from supply+
will 15 V.Then, the imperviousness to every voltage supplied might have been computed.
11. Those same technique might have been rehashed when recording the estimations for
those hand held DMM same time those filaments are over series, but in this case the
alligator clip connected to the v jack was removed and associated with the
volt/ohm/mA jack in the multimeter, and the banana cable connected to the
com was removed and connected to the com jack in the hand-held
multimeter
12. The supplied voltage might have been set to 2 volts and the multimeter might have been
turned on and the safety that might have been indicated on the advanced screen might
have been recorded.

Results:

The results obtained after experiment is listed below in a table as shown.

Supply Voltage (V) Measured Volatge(V) Measured Current (A) Calculated


Resistance(R)
2 1.722 0.232 7.41
4 3.6 0.307 11.73
6 5.51 0.370 14.89
8 7.44 0.425 17.5
10 9.35 0.474 19.73
12 11.31 0.520 21.75

After disconnecting the circuit and measure the resistance of series connected lamp filament is
3.4R
Results showing by increasing Voltage , current will also increases.

Why is the ohmmeter reading different from the calculated values of resistance?
Ans: The values obtained from [practical or experiment depends upon the conditions and
apparatus, while theoretical are of standard based. So both have difference in them.

Why do the calculated values of resistance vary?


Ans: When we increase the voltage, the filament gets heated due to result i increase in the value
of resistances. That’s why, the resistance varies accordingly.
Conclusion:

This lab test given the comes about required. The voltage What’s more present was measured
from those filaments associated in arrangement utilizing the Ni instrument flying DMM toward
diverse voltage supply number. Those voltage supplied began from 2 volt until 12 v. Those
present also voltage were measured at each voltage increment. Then, the same methodology
might have been rehashed with the 15V supplied.. It might have been found that the resistance
computed during 2 volt didn't match those imperviousness worth gotten practically from utilizing
those hand-held multimeter, however it might have been thick, as close. This might need
happened because of an resistance expansion starting with the filaments being hot.
