Wiens law & Ohms law


Objective
- To demonstrate and verify Ohms law and Wiens law
- To test whether adjusting the amount of resistance affect the amount of electric current or not.
Introduction
Electricity can be simplified to the flow of electric charge. It can be seen in almost
everything nowadays: cell phones, computers, lights, and etc. In order to make electronic
appliances perform its work, electrical circuit is needed. Every single electronic current in
any devices has a resistance, a property of a component to restricts the flow, in it. Each of
electronic appliances has its own specific voltage requirement to start working. Voltage, in
theory, is difference in amount of electric current transferred from one to another place, in
another word is potential difference. Their relationship can be seen in something called
Ohms law. Moreover, the concentration of light also proves Wiens law.

Ohms law, in form of V = IR, stated that at a stable temperature, current 'I' through a
conductor at one distant is directly proportional to voltage 'V', across the two points.
Conversely, the ratio V : I is constant. This constant is said to be the resistance (R) of the
conductor.
Wiens law stated that objects of different temperature emit spectra
that peak at different wavelengths
The purposes of this experiment are to demonstrate and verify Ohms
law whether adjusting amount of resistance will affect amount of electric
current or not and also to present Wien's law that says the color of light
depends on amount of heat created.

Procedures
For a lamp

1. Prepare a wire and then tear a middle part apart to make two wires.
2. Cut one of the wires at the center. Then peel plastic and use only 3 cm of copper inside the wire
3. Combine a switch those wires by using copper then screw the knot.
4. Repeat step 2 with another wire
5. Put the copper of second wire inside the dimmer then screw the knot.
6. Cover the copper and the dimmer with tape and make sure that it is completely stick.
7. At the both end of the wires, peel the cover out and combine one ending with plug.
8. At another ending of the wire, peel the plastic out and stick the copper inside into a lamp.
9. Hide the remaining wire inside the wooden box.
10. Stack the lamp above the wooden box.
11. Screw the lamp together with the box in order to make it stay attached.
12. Drill a hole on the wooden box letting the dimmer and switch expose to outside.
13. Put a light bulb on top of the lamp
14. Stick the exposed dimmer, switch, and lamp on the wood broad
For decoration

1. Blow a balloon
2. Mix water with glue
3. Put the yarn into the mixed glue in order to make it able to attach with the balloon
4. Wrap balloon with the yarn
5. Wait for the glue of a yarn to dry out and stick
6. Use a hair dryer to speed up the process
7. After the yarn dry, pop the balloon so that it left the yarn with balloon shape
8. Use the dry yarn to cover a lamp
9. Use the wire to make a french for decoration
10. Use oasis to make a grass field as a texture
Discussion of Design

First, we decided to make a base of a

lamp in square shape to place the light

bulb. For the lamp, we decided to make it

out of a yarn because it is easy to find and

to do. To add on, it also make a sparkle

effect out of the lamp too.


As a first step of making the lamp, we blew a

balloon and mix water with glue. Then, we dip a

yarn into that mixed water to make it able to attach

to the balloon. We then use it to wrap around the

balloon and wait until it dry or stick together. After

the yarn dried, pop the balloon. You will get the

yarn that is in a shape of balloon. This yarn is used

to cover the light bulb as a lamp.


Later we chose to make the park and make the lamp

to be the signature of the park. We get this inspiration

from Cloud Gate or The bean. We decorated the park

with ice-cream stick to making a fence and wrap the

string light around the fence for decoration. Then, use

oasis to make grass field as a texture to make the park

look more beautiful.


The step of making the lamp, first prepare a wire and tear a

middle part apart to make two wires. Next, cut one of the wires at the

center. Then peel plastic and use only 3 cm of copper inside the wire.

Third, combine a switch those wires by using copper then screw the

knot. Repeat step 2 with another wire. Forth, put the copper of second

wire inside the dimmer then screw the knot. Fifth, Cover the copper

and the dimmer with tape and make sure that it is completely stick. At

the both end of the wires, peel the cover out and combine one ending

with plug. At another ending of the wire, peel the plastic out and stick

the copper inside into a lamp in order to hide the remaining wire

inside the wooden box.


Moreover, stack the lamp above the wooden

box and screw the lamp together with the box in

order to make it stay attached. Then, drill the hole

to letting the dimmer and switch expose outside

and put the light bulb on top of the lamp. Last,

stick the exposed dimmer, switch, and lamp on

the wood broad.

(Resistance)
: Ohm ()
According to Ohms law, V=IR, the resistance(R) is
directly proportional to the electric potential(V) and
inversely proportional to the current in a circuit(I). This
means the more the resistances increase, the less the currents
Discussion
in a circuit decrease, but the electric potential is constant.
The black body is the subject that will absorb all the
radiation without reflecting and passing through. Wien's law
states that the black body changes the color depend on the
wavelength which causes the amount of temperature. If the
length of radiation is long, which means it is hot, so the color
of the body will changes to red. If the heat increases, hotter,
which means the wavelength will be shorter or have more
frequency, so the color of the body will change into dark blue
or purple. Therefore, the wavelength is inversely
proportional to the temperature. This relates to the electric
circuit project because Wiens law explains the reason why
color of the light turns bright after increasing heat.
Conclusion
As a result, it can be concluded that adjusting the amount of resistance
affects the amount of electric current in the system by inversely proportional
according to Ohms law. Moreover, this experiment shows that the amount of
heat effect color of the light according to Wien's law.
Future Consideration
Here is the suggestion for the future consideration, there are a lot of
mistakes in this experiment such as we were not prepare enough for the first
time that we make our lamp. As a result we waste time with nothing finished. So,
buying an extra amount of materials is better because when some materials run
out we dont have to wait and can continue making the lamp. We shouldnt try to
adjust the dimmer a lot and quickly change the value of R (resistors) because
maybe it can cause the light bulb to explode. When conducting the electricity, we
need to be careful in order to avoid short circuit and to make ourselves be safe.
