Ohm's Law

This is lab 1 of 10 in the course

In this lab, students will learn about Ohm's law. Ohm's law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, and is one of the key laws of electrical circuits. Students will use Multisim to simulate the behavior of basic circuits, and then explore further by building and testing circuits with NI ELVIS III to confirm the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
