  3. Use a textbook or other resource to fill in the table below: Variable Resistor Thermistor

  4. How are current and voltage related for a resistor? Set up the circuit as shown below: Slowly move the variable resistor and for each setting record the current in amps and the voltage in volts. 0 Plot a graph of your results. 0.6 1.1 1.8 A 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.2 V

  5. Current and voltage Draw a line of best fit for your graph. Plot your points on the graph. If you get a straight line it means that the two quantities current and voltage are proportional. What does your graph look like? x x x Current, I / amps What does proportional mean? x x If you double the voltage then the current doubles. x x x This fact was put into a law: Potential difference / V Ohm’s Law: The current flowing through a wire is proportional to the potential difference (voltage) across it provided the temperature remains constant.Georg Ohm 1826

  6. Electron flow and Resistance Electricity in wires is a flow of electrons along the wire. As the electrons move along the wire they collide with the metal atoms. These collision make the atoms vibrate more…which makes the metal hotter. Resistance is a measure of how much a material tries to stop electricity passing through it.

  7. Voltage = Current x Resistance V=IR V=IR We can express Ohm’s Law mathematically using the equation: Voltage measured in Volts (V) Current measured in Amps (A) Resistance measured in Ohms ()

  8. Formula triangles Formula triangles help you to rearrange formula, the triangle for the Ohm’s Law is shown below: Whatever quantity you are trying to find cover it up and it will leave you with the calculation required. …and you are left with the sum… So if you were trying to find current, I….. I = V R V   …you would cover I up… I R x

  10. Resistance for a bulb If you have a filament bulb and it has a current of 20A running through it, with a potential difference of 100V across it, what is the resistance of the bulb? V = IR R = V/I R = 100V/20A R = 5 

  11. Current for a diode A diode has a current of 5A running through it, and a resistance of 5. What is the potential difference across the diode? V = IR V = 5A x 5 V = 25V

  12. Resistors in series Total resistance = R1 + R2 2 4 What is the total resistance for the circuit shown? Total resistance = R1 + R2 Total resistance = 4  + 2  Total resistance = 6 

  13. Resistors in series What is the total resistance for the circuit shown? 34 6 Total resistance = R1 + R2 Total resistance = 6  + 34  Total resistance = 40 

  14. Resistors in parallel Total resistance = R1xR2 R1+ R2 4 2 What is the total resistance for the circuit shown? Total resistance = 4 x 2 4 + 2 = 1.33

  15. Resistors in parallel What is the total resistance for the circuit shown? 8 6 Total resistance = 8 x 6 8 + 6 = 3.4

  19. Power calculations If you have a filament bulb and it has a potential difference of 200V across it and a current of 0.2A running through it. At what power is the bulb operating at? P = IV P = 0.2A x 200V P = 40W

  20. Power calculations If you have a filament bulb and it operates at a power of 60W and it has a potential difference of 240V across it, what is the current running through the bulb? P = IV I = P/V I = 60W / 240V I = 0.25A
