- Start up your internet browser. Start up the PhET Simulation at http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/ohms-law
- Click on download and the screen above in figure 1 appear. Minimize your browser.
- Get Excel Spreadsheet ready.
- With the Resistance slider set at its default value, move the potential slider, observing what happens to the current.
If the voltage doubles, what happens to the current?
What type of relationship do you believe exists between voltage and current?
-
With the Voltage slider set at 4.5 V, move the resistance slider, observing what happens to the current.
If the resistance doubles, what happens to the current?
What type of relationship do you believe exists between current and resistance?
What type of relationship do you believe exists between current and resistance?
