- Demo Oersted’s discovery using a compass
- Attempt to make it quantitative rather than just an indicator
- Expect failure on that
- Reproduce Ohm’s torsion galvanometer, with calibration
- Build a d’Arsenval meter and calibrate it
- Reproduce Ohm’s experiments with different lengths of identical wire
- Use AAA batteries in various combinations for Voltage
- Use a consistent set of wire lengths
- So resistance is proportional to wire length
- voltage is roughly 1.5V per AAA cell
- Current is measured by meter
- Make a graph
- Calculate
- Create my own units.
- Voltage = # AAA cells
- Resistance = length of wire
- Current = degrees offset by meter
- Prove Ohm’s law with the new units
Piece of cake.
