Information
Description
What It Is:
This is an Ohm's Law worksheet. It presents the formulas V=IR, R=V/I, and I=V/R. The worksheet contains nine problems. The first four problems ask students to calculate current (I) given voltage (V) and resistance (R) in a 160V circuit with varying resistance values. Problems 6-8 ask students to calculate voltage (V) given current (6A) and resistance (R) with varying resistance values. Problems 5 and 9 are conceptual questions asking about the relationship between current and resistance, and voltage and resistance, respectively. Students are instructed to show their work, use correct units, and circle their answers.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 9-12, specifically for students learning about basic electricity and Ohm's Law in a physics or physical science course. The mathematical calculations require basic algebra skills.
Why Use It:
This worksheet reinforces understanding of Ohm's Law and the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. It provides practice in applying the formulas and using correct units. It also encourages critical thinking through the conceptual questions about the relationship between the variables.
How to Use It:
Students should use the provided formulas (V=IR, R=V/I, and I=V/R) to solve the problems. They should identify the given values (voltage, current, or resistance), choose the appropriate formula, plug in the values, and solve for the unknown variable. Students must show their work, include the correct units (Volts, Amps, Ohms), and circle the final answer.
Target Users:
The target users are high school students in physics or physical science courses, particularly those learning about electricity, circuits, and Ohm's Law. This worksheet can be used for homework, in-class practice, or as a review activity.
