This extension is suitable as a teacher demonstration and may be started before students begin work on the Ohm's Law I activity.
Ohm’s law is the basis of all electrical systems. Electrical engineers use this equation to guide the design of electrical systems. Students need a strong foundation in Ohm’s law while designing circuits on their own.
