Ohm’s Law* – Voltage, current, and resistance in simple circuits

Ohm's Law Experiment

Explore the relationship between Voltage, Current, and Resistance

This simulation demonstrates Ohm's Law (V = I × R). Adjust the voltage or resistance and observe how it affects the current in the circuit.

Observation:

Adjust the voltage or resistance and click "Calculate Current" to see how it affects the current according to Ohm's Law (V = I × R).

1. Voltage (V):

The electrical potential difference that causes charges to move in a circuit. Measured in volts (V).

2. Current (I):

The flow of electric charge through the circuit. Measured in amperes (A).

3. Resistance (R):

The opposition to the flow of current. Measured in ohms (Ω).

4. Ohm's Law:

V = I × R (Voltage = Current × Resistance). This fundamental relationship shows how these three quantities are related in simple circuits.

5. Practical Applications:

Ohm's Law helps design circuits, select appropriate components, and troubleshoot electrical problems.
