Activities the statement..

2. ____________________________________________________
Determine the value of resistance R of the conductor from graph
DO YOU KNOW? drawn for nichrome wire

Most of the devices like 3. ____________________________________________________
fluorescent tube, energy
saver, electrical bulb and ____________________________________________________
electrolytes do not obey Connect a 6V bulb in the circuit in place of nichrome wire. Take five
Ohm's law. They are called reading of V & I. Draw V versus I graph. Does it verify Ohm's Law?
non-ohmic conductors. Give reason

4. ____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________
Repeat the above experiment by using nichrome wire of double the
length. Draw its V-I graph on the same graph paper. What do the two
different straight lines show with reference to the slope? Can you tell
which of the two wires has greater resistance?
