Investigate and explain the relationships among current, voltage, resistance, and power.
Subject Area: Science
Grade: 912
Body of Knowledge: Physical Science
Standard: Energy -
Date Adopted or Revised: 02/08
A. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form
to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete
amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc2.
B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and
fusion.
C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions
result in the release or absorption of energy.
D. The theory of electromagnetism explains that electricity and magnetism are closely related. Electric charges are
the source of electric fields. Moving charges generate magnetic fields.
E. Waves are the propagation of a disturbance. They transport energy and momentum but do not transport
matter.

Name
Battery Voltage:
Description
This simulation will allow you to look inside a battery to see how it works. You will be able to select the battery voltage
and see the movement of the charges from one end of the battery to the other. A voltmeter will tell the resulting
battery voltage.
Some of the sample learning goals can be:
Do the small blue spheres represent positive or negative charges?
Which side of the battery is labeled positive, and which side is negative?
How can you determine which side of the battery is positive and negative just by the location of the blue charges?
Battery-Resistor Circuit:
This simulation demonstrates how a resistor works and the relationship between voltage, current and resistance. A
change in temperature is also recorded with varying the parameters.
The students will be shown the flow of electrons to make a fan spin. The more resistance that they put the slower the
elctrons will move and vice versa. The students will also see the power generated by the battery.
Explore how a capacitor works in this simulation. Change the plates and add a dielectric to see how it affects
capacitance. Change the voltage and see charges built up on the plates. You can observe the electric field in the
capacitor, measure voltage and the electric field.
Other investigations can include:
Capacitor Lab:
Determine the relationship between charge and voltage for a capacitor.
Determine the energy stored in a capacitor or a set of capacitors in a circuit.
Explore the effect of space and dielectric materials inserted between the conductors of the capacitor in a circuit.
Determine the equivalent capacitance of a set of capacitors in series and in parallel in a circuit.
An electronic kit in your computer! Build circuits with resistors, light bulbs, batteries, and switches. Take
measurements with the realistic ammeter and voltmeter. View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a lifelike view.

Determine the resistance of common objects in the "Grab Bag".
The students will have the opportunity to build their own circuit loop with the materials presented to them.
This interactive game will help you learn about integrated circuits, which can be found in almost every modern electrical
device such as computers, cars, television sets, CD players, cell phones, etc... The challenge in this game is to make it
to the end.
Ohm's Law:
This virtual manipulative will allow the user to see how the equation form of ohm's law relates to a simple circuit.
Learners can adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm's law. The size of the
symbols in the equation change to match the circuit diagram.
Resistance in a Wire:
This manipulative will help the students to learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. The electrical resistance of a
wire would be expected to be greater for a longer wire, less for a wire of larger cross sectional area, and would be
expected to depend upon the material out of which the wire is made, to understand this, students can change the
resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation
change along with the diagram of a wire.
Some of the sample learning goals can be:
What characteristics of a resistor are variable in this model?
How does each affect the resistance (will increasing or decreasing each make the resistance correspondingly
increase or decrease?)
Explain your ideas about why they change the resistance.
