Learning Objective

I can analyze the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electric circuits.

  • 1

    Voltage is the potential energy in electricity, and it is measured in volts.

  • 2

    Ohm's Law describes the relationship between voltage, current (I), and resistance (R) with the formula: V = I * R.

  • 3

    As resistance increases, the current decreases, and as voltage increases, the current increases.
