Demonstrate Ohm’s Law using digital multi-meters. Fun hands-on activities are presented that demonstrate Ohm’s Law. Teachers use digital multi-meters to collect data that are plotted to show that voltage and current are related by linear functions for ordinary resistors and by power functions for light bulbs.
