Description
This simulation will show students how the equation form of Ohm’s law is related to a simple circuit. The students in the Physical Science or Physics classroom can adjust the voltage and resistance and the current changes according to Ohm’s law. The sizes and symbols in the equation change to match the circuit diagram.
