We can see the result of electricity  but not the process itself. The simulation compares electric circuits to a water tower and water wheel cycle. Young scientists adjust the height of the tower, the amount of resistance, and if...

Following detailed directions, teams collect the voltage and current outputs of a photovoltaic cell by adjusting the resistance. Using the collected data, they determine the highest power output. Implications for weather and a large...

Some things are hard to resist. Small collaborative groups build circuits and calculate the voltage using Ohm's Law. Budding engineers explore the connection between the voltage across different resistors and linear...

Take a very basic understanding of circuits and develop a strong understanding of the parts and function of a circuit. This activity is developed to be an independent exploration of circuits from the basics to series and parallel models....

Students explore the composition and practical application of parallel circuitry, compared to series circuitry. They design and build parallel circuits and investigate their characteristics, and apply Ohm's law. They recognize that...

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...

In this electric circuits worksheet, students review Ohm's law, the two types of electric circuits, and how electrical power is measured. This worksheet has 15 fill in the blank questions.

Students explore the relationship of resistance, voltage, and current in series and parallel circuits using a computer model of a circuit board. They discover Ohm's Law by constructing series circuits.

High schoolers work to increase the intensity of a light bulb by testing batteries in series and parallel circuits. They analyze Ohm's Law, power, parallel and series circuits, and ways to measure voltage and current.

Students investigate the concept of Ohm's Law and how it is used when finding a solution to an equation. They use properties of equality in order to find the solution for the variable. Students also apply a formula to real life problems...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The differences between series and parallel circuits are highlighted. Provides an in-depth look at how to solve problems about circuits and resistors. Includes a...

In this physics lab students investigate whether Ohm's Law applies to common electric devices. Students submit their findings in a written report or class discussion.

Whether you are looking for an introduction to resistors, volt, and current, or just looking for a reference, this article provides great information for all ability levels. Great videos, diagrams, images, and links to more information...

There are certain formulas in physics that are so powerful and so pervasive that they reach the state of popular knowledge. The predominant equation which pervades the study of electric circuits is often referred to as the Ohm's law...
