Conclusion
Resistance
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of
current.
ohmmeter is used to measure resistance.
An __________
Voltage divided by current is equal to the value of resistance.

Now draw a graph of Voltage along the X axis and Current on the
Y axis…..then you can work in pairs and use the ipad to work through
