Investigation of the Current & Voltage characteristics of a Meyer Lamp In this experiment I will be testing to see if the conductor (i.e. the Meyer Lamp) obeys Ohms Law. Plan In this experiment I will be observing the current-voltage relationship of a Meyer Lamp. The apparatus that I will need are: * Ammeter (multi-meter) * Voltmeter (multi-meter) * Variable Resistor * Power Supply * Wires to connect the circuit * Meyer Lamp In this experiment I have decided to increase the voltage of the Meyer Lamp at constant intervals of 1V. This will be done by using the variable resistor. Then I will measure the voltage across the circuit when there is a certain voltage flowing through the lamp. The observations will be recorded in a table and I will then plot a graph of current against voltage. According to Ohm's Law, current and voltage are directly proportional to each other, therefore after drawing a line of best...
