Virtual lab: I–V characteristics

Aim: find how the current through a component changes with the potential difference across it. Press the button to carry out each step of the method.

Follow the method one step at a time, or use the buttons above to finish it for you.

    Results

    Choose a component above the steps. Resistance = V ÷ I.

    Graph: current against potential difference

    The graph will be drawn when you reach that step.
