NSU Phys Lab: Ohm’s Law using a PhET
Simulation
The fundamental relationship among the three important electrical quantities current, voltage,
and resistance was discovered by Georg Simon Ohm. The relationship and the unit of electrical
resistance were both named for him to commemorate this contribution to physics. One statement
of Ohm’s law is that the current through a resistor is proportional to the voltage across the
resistor and inversely proportional to the resistance. In this experiment you will see if Ohm’s law
is applicable by generating experimental data using a PhET Simulation:

Current and voltage can be difficult to understand, because they cannot be observed directly. To
clarify these terms, some people make the comparison between electrical circuits and water
flowing in pipes. Here is a chart of the three electrical units we will study in this experiment.
