... to take large amounts of data or measurements that were related to the charge at a particular point on a grid. From these measurements we could see how the charge dissipates from its source to a surrounding area. With such information we created cool looking graphs that showed the peek and the pit of the charges on this ... grid. We also showed the contour plot for the charges and a plot of electric field vs. position. Raw Data: The raw data for this lab was turned ... the charges onto the spreadsheet would hit the record button before he had the needle on the grid. Therefore, the comput...

Ohm's Law and Parallel Resistive Circuits By Paul DeSoto 10-03-02 lab #2 co-workers: Rusty White Mike Washburn Niranjan Anand ~Procedure During this lab two types of circuits were made using resistors, soderless breadboards, and DC power supplies. The first circuit had one resistor, and a power supply. The resistance was varied by using different valued resistors in ... the circuit. The resistors used in this lab were 12k, 120k, and 220k ohm resistors. The second type of circuit had two resistors in parallel wiring, and a power supply. The resistance was again varied by using the resistors m...

... scale. 5) Now using alligator clips, connect the positive voltmeter terminal to the top resistor post and the negative probe to the bottom resistor post. All of this will connect the voltmeter in a parallel branch circuit across the resistor. This will tell you how many volts are lost during the whole process. Set ... stay the circuit turned on because everything can come overheated and all the equipment could ruin so do it fast and accurately. 10) After you do all of these trials, do a graph and calculate the slopes for every trial. Data Here is the data that I collected from the lab an...

... likely to stop the electrons from passing (it's resistance goes up). We found this out from carrying out a practical experiment on the characteristics of a bulb. We couldn't make the supply voltage too small, as our meters would not have been able to record the results because they ... circuit to be measured. Conclusion In my prediction I stated that, if the length of the wire increases, then the resistance would also increase in direct proportion to length. In the graphs, which I produced, I can see that the resistance of a wire is in proportion to the length, as I predicted. I know ....
