Ohm's Law
Circuits

Description

See how the equation form of Ohm's law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm's law.

Sample Learning Goals

Predict how current will change when resistance of the circuit is fixed and voltage is varied.
Predict how current will change when voltage of the circuit is fixed and resistance is varied.
