Learning objective

Verify V = IR and compare electrical power at different settings.

Investigation procedure

  1. Set V = 6 V and R = 12 Ω. Compute current before reading the meter.
  2. Double the voltage while leaving resistance unchanged.
  3. Restore V and halve the resistance. What happens to electric power?

Observation and reasoning

1. What is the current at 12 V across a 6 Ω resistor?
2. At fixed resistance, how does power change when voltage doubles?
3. Is this model valid for a temperature-dependent filament lamp?

Teacher answer key

1. I = V/R = 12/6 = 2 A.

2. Power becomes four times as large because P = V²/R.

3. Not exactly. A filament’s resistance changes with temperature and its I–V curve is not perfectly linear.
