This pdf document contains a lab that covers Ohm's Law. In the lab, students use Pasco DataStudio and lab equipment to measure the resistance and resistivity of resistors and wires. This lab is closely tied with This particular set=up and will need to be adapted to work with other equipment.
This lab is part of a larger collection of labs used in Mississippi State physics courses.
