Ohms law and resistance

This worksheet explores Ohm’s law. It provides students with an overview of the relationship between current, voltage and resistance. It also provides a reminder of how to calculate total resistance when resistors are in parallel or series circuits. The questions have worked examples, examiners top tips and answers...

Ohm’s law

The aim of this investigation is to see the variation of current with applied voltage for two bulbs and compare with Ohm’s Law.  The ones recommended here are a 12V lamp and a small neon bulb.  You can then plot graphs of resistance against voltage to compare the two.

Oil for beginners

The activities in this book tell a simple story of oil, beginning with its recovery from beneath the seabed, to its use as a lubricant and fuel. They are written for use with five- to seven- year olds, though can be adapted for use with other children, and can be incorporated into topic work on liquids or materials...
