Ohm's Law
|
|
|
Original Sim and Translations |
Topics
- Ohm's Law
- Circuits
- Current
- Resistance
- Voltage
Description
See how the equation form of Ohm's law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm's law.
Sample Learning Goals
- Predict how current will change when resistance of the circuit is fixed and voltage is varied.
- Predict how current will change when voltage of the circuit is fixed and resistance is varied.
Teacher Tips
 |
Overview of sim controls, model simplifications, and insights into student thinking ( PDF ). |
