2015 #2 Free Response Question - AP Physics 1 - Exam Solution

The video tutorial covers a question from the 2015 AP Physics exam, focusing on designing an experiment to determine what gets used up in an incandescent light bulb in series with a resistor. The tutorial explains the circuit setup, including the use of ammeters and voltmeters, and describes the experimental procedure to measure current and potential difference. It also discusses how to analyze the data to determine if the light bulb is ohmic or non-ohmic, emphasizing the importance of understanding Ohm's Law. The video concludes with tips for approaching AP Physics exams, highlighting the need to design experiments and avoid dependency on numerical data.

What modifications, if any, need to be made to the setup to determine if the light bulb is non-ohmic?

How would you analyze the data to determine whether the bulb is non-ohmic?

Discuss how uncertainties in the measurements would affect the conclusion about whether the resistor is non-ohmic.
