How does voltage affect the current in my circuit?
be described by its current, resistance and voltage. Voltage is energy per charge
slows current down in a circuit. Ohm’s Law is that more voltage creates more
For this project, we designed our own experiment to answer the question: How
does the voltage affect the current in my circuit? Our hypothesis was that if we
increased the voltage then the current would increase, as well, because of Ohm’s
Law.
Methods:
Procedure:
1. Design circuit
2. Set up circuit
5. Increase voltage
Materials:
Wire
Electric tape
Cardboard
Data:
This graph shows that current increase with voltage.
Conclusion:
We predicted that the current would increase because of Ohm’s Law. Our
results support our hypothesis because our data clearly shows that the current
the multimeter wrong. Another source of error is we could have used the wrong
amount of resistance.
