Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law

Investigate the effect of changing resistance on current.

Part of the course: Electricity & Circuits I β€” DC Fundamentals

Mission

Investigate the effect of changing the value of the resistance on the value of the electric current in the circuit.

Variables

What you change

  • Resistance value

What you measure

  • Current

What you keep constant

  • Wire length
  • Wire cross section
  • Battery voltage value
  • Temperature of wire

Equations

I = Electric current (A)

R = Electric resistance (ohm)

V = Voltage drop on resistor (V)

I = \frac{V}{R}
