Purpose
1.
Experiment with a single resistor circuit.
2.
Analyze how one variable affects another while the third variable is kept constant.
Provide
reasoning to support Ohm’s Law by collecting data to interpret and analyze a graph and write a
three-step conclusion.
Procedure:
1. Go to the University of Colorado – Simulations. Click on the
Battery-Resistor Circuit
simulation, then
click on Run Now!
2. Using the information from “Think About This”, hypothesize the relationship between voltage and
current.
3. Analyze a single resistor circuit.
○
Select a resistance value of your choice between .2-Ohms and .5-Ohms by adjusting the
slider on the right side labeled resistance.
○
Select a voltage value of 0.0 by adjusting the slider on the right side labeled voltage.
○
Read the current (Amps) from the ammeter on the lower left connected to the pinwheel.
