Ohm’s Law Notes (Page 6)
Use the following simulationto study “Ohm’s Law”:
1. Raise the voltage until you have 9V. How many 1.5 V batteries does it take? Take a picture of this with Command-Shift-4.
2. Decrease the Amount of batteries and come up with a rule for how the number of batteries effect the Voltage in the circuit.
3. As you increase the Voltage, what happens to the current? Take a picture with Command-shift-4.
4. As you decrease the Voltage, what happens to the current?
5. As you increase the resistance, what happens to the current? Take a picture with Command-shift-4
6. As you decrease the resistance, what happens to the current?
Use the circuit construction kit here to create all six circuits on the board.
1. You need to right-click or Control-Click to change the resistance of the light to the proper value.
2. Set up a voltmeter across the light or lights, and an ammeter somewhere in the circuit.
3. Take a picture of each circuit with Command-Shift-4 and put your circuit in a comic.
Create a ten square comic with these images as well as captions explaining what is important in each picture and what the picture shows. Title it “Ohm’s Law”
