Contents
Outcomes
- Pupils can plan a Current-Voltage investigation
- Pupils can select the correct equipment and use an appropriate circuit to take valid measurements
Specification References
2.14 recall and use the relationship between voltage, current and resistance: voltage = current × resistance
Starter
Pupils to design a circuit to design a circuit from:
a power supply, a variable resistor, an ammeter, a voltmeter, some sample wire
Main Body of Lesson
Planning:
- Identify what factors could affect resistance of a wire (length, csa, material, temperature)
- Discuss how to make the experiment fair (control variables) and accurate (several values of V and I)
Observation:
- Pupils to investigate how length affects resistance
- Pupils to investigate how csa affects resistance
