Resistors and Ohm's Law


                For our second lab session, we experimented on resistors.  This session was fun because we were able to use new instruments again! I was amazed with how the resistance box works as well as the rheostat.  Our group proceeded with the objectives in hand for the whole three hours of our lab.
          
          Our group was able to finish the objectives in time. We learned about the different types and structures of resistors.  We were able to measure resistances of resistors, resistance box, rheostat, variable resistor. Lastly, we were able to understand and determine the relationships between voltage, current and resistance in ohmic and non-ohmic conductors.
                
                I had a great time and it was really fun doing the experiments. Now we have to finish our technical paper and submit it on time. I’m hoping for more fun experiments!
