Measurement of Resistances of Various DC Conductors

Experiment: Measurement of Resistances of Various DC Conductors

Principle

  • The experiment focuses on determining the resistances of various DC conductors and understanding their voltage/current characteristic.
  • It also involves finding the resistivities of metal rods.

Objectives

  • By the end of this experiment, students should be able to:
    • Plot the voltage/current characteristics of the conductors.

Method

  • The experimental setup involves connecting a conductor rod as shown in Figure 4.1.
