Ohm's Law

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

Ideal for your electricity unit, especially with middle schoolers, this lesson plan gets engineers using multimeters in electrical circuits to explore the relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. Older learners may even plot...

Young scientists inductively derive Ohm's Law of voltage, resistance, and current by creating series and parallel circuits with 9-volt batteries and light bulbs. A week's worth of experiments, observation, and hands-on activities are...

In this Ohm's Law worksheet, students answer 8 questions which include multiple choice, graphs, and short answer. They write the definitions of voltage, potential difference, current, and resistance. They complete a graph about volts,...

If your future physicists know how to construct simple circuits, include resistors, and use a multi-meter to measure voltage, then you might employ this lesson on Ohm's law. Each lab group investigates the relationships among voltage,...

An interactive simulation that teaches about Ohm's Law, circuits, and current by observing how adjusting the voltage and resistance changes current according to Ohm's Law. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and...

Join the resistance—Ohm! Scholars apply Ohm's Law to problems of increasing difficulty as part of a series on electric circuits. The lesson begins with simply doubling and tripling voltage or resistance. It ends with having pupils solve...

Why did Mr. Ohm marry Mrs. Ohm? He couldn't resistor. An electrifying simulation allows scholars to control both voltage and resistance in order to see the current change. The formula is displayed and as you increase one variable, it...

In this interactive simulation of Ohm's law, adapted from the University of Colorado's Physics Education Technology project, students will adjust the voltage and resistance in a circuit, and observe how this affects the flow of current....

Students will work to increase the intensity of a light bulb by testing batteries in series and parallel circuits. It analyzes Ohm's Law, power, parallel and series circuits, and ways to measure voltage and current.
