Express which of the following set ups can be used to verify Ohm’s law?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer :
Solution :
In ohm's law, we check $$V = IR$$ where $$I$$ is the current flowing through a resistor and $$V$$ is the potential difference across that resistor. Only option (A) fits the above criteria. NOTE : Remember that ammeter is connected in series with resistance and voltmeter parallel with the net resistance.
