Electricity


Model 2b.1

In this model, you can plot a graph of V against I in a circuit with a resistance R (Ohm’s Law). You can enter values of V in the first column, and the computer will calculate the value of I in the second column and plot points on a graph so that you can see the pattern. You can also change the value of the resistance. 


 


Model 2b.2

This model is similar to Model 2b.1, which plots a graph of V against I in a circuit. In this model, there are two columns for different values of the resistance so that you can compare the effects of changing the resistance. The graph plots two sets of points with different colours corresponding to the two resistances.
