The purpose of this project is to investigate the relationship between the voltage loss across several resistors and the current flowing through there. I have to also determine from my data an equation describing this relationship and measure the Electrical Resistance that is measured in Ohms.
Here is a schematic diagram of the lab:
1) Set the voltage of the knob to 0 volts in a clockwise direction.
2) Now, connect the resistor to the breadboard. Do not turn the power on yet.
3) With an alligator wire, connect the power supply with the lower post of the ammeter
4) With an alligator clip, connect the positive side of the power supply to the positive terminal of the ammeter. After that, connect the black terminal of the ammeter to the top post of the resistor bracket. This will complete the circuit but, still, do not turn the power on. Now, set the ammeter to its highest reading scale.
5) Now using alligator clips, connect the positive voltmeter terminal to the top resistor post and the neg
