PURPOSE: To demonstrate V=IR.

DESCRIPTION: This setup, including variable voltage power supply, voltmeter, ammeter, and plug for resistor, sits on an overhead projector; the circuit is clearly visible. Changing the voltage produces an appropriate change of current. Several resistors can be used.

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES:

EQUIPMENT: Ohm's law demonstrator, overhead projector.

SETUP TIME: None.
