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

Pupils to design a circuit to design a circuit from:

a power supply, a variable resistor, an ammeter, a voltmeter, some sample wire

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 record their results on preprtinted table to save time
