I-V+CHARACTERISTICS+FOR+VARIOUS+COMPONENTS

IB PHYSICS > PRACTICAL WORK > IB IA EXPERIMENTS [|IA criteria checklist Google doc] - always a good idea to look at this before submitting your work. =PRACTICAL: I-V CHARACTERISTICS OF RESISTORS AND LAMPS=

PROCEDURE:
Construct a circuit which measures V and I for different resistors and lamps. Take an appropriate number of readings with uncertainties. Plot graphs with uncertainties. Calculate the gradients of the trendlines and tangents, as appropriate. [|Here is a spreadsheet with data] in case you can't generate your own.

Here are some hints for making Graphs in Excel or Google Sheets http://nothingnerdy.wikispaces.com/GRAPH
