What This Document Is
This is a second lab report completed by a student, Chel May Myet, for Physics II (PHY 156) at the College of Staten Island CUNY. The lab focuses on verifying Ohm’s Law and investigating electrical resistance using a voltmeter-ammeter method. It details an experiment conducted on September 13, 2018, with a partner, Abdonnie Holder, under the instruction of George Poppe.
Why This Document Matters
This report is a record of a student’s practical application of physics principles. It’s valuable for instructors assessing student understanding of Ohm’s Law and experimental methodology. It also serves as a completed example for other students in the same course, illustrating the expected format and content of a lab report.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents a single student’s work and may contain errors or variations in interpretation. It is not a definitive guide to Ohm’s Law or experimental procedure, but rather a demonstration of one attempt to apply those concepts.
What This Document Provides
The full report includes: a stated objective, a summary of the underlying principles of Ohm’s Law and resistance, a list of the equipment used, the main results obtained (specifically, the resistance of a tubular resistor), and a discussion of the findings, including comparisons between ohmic and non-ohmic conductors. This preview does *not* include the raw data collected, the graphs generated, or a full error analysis. It also does not provide a detailed explanation of the experimental setup.
