1 | Ohm's Law |
Ohm's Law |
Digital meters measure the current and the voltage in a simple circuit of a battery and resistor. The rheostat is adjusted so that the meters read the same, differing only by a factor of 1000. The battery pack contains six 1.5 volt batteries in series. Change the number of batteries in the circuit OR change the resistance and observe that the meters change proportionally.

2 | Kirchhoff's Voltage Law |
Circuit Analysis |
Measure the voltage at different places in the circuit and show that the sum is zero. There are many possible combinations of components. |

3 | Series and Parallel Circuits |
Circuit Analysis |
If the combined series and parallel boards are confusing, try the separate boards. |

4 | Capacitor and Light Bulb |
RC Circuits |
A 5600 microfarad capacitor, a light bulb, and a 120 V dc supply in series show a long time constant where the bulb dims as the capacitor charges. |
