Resistors

6.2.1.4 Resistors

Required practical activity 16: use circuit diagrams to construct appropriate circuits to investigate the I–V characteristics of a variety of circuit elements, including a filament lamp, a diode and a resistor at constant temperature.

AT skills covered by this practical activity: physics AT 6 and 7.

This practical activity also provides opportunities to develop WS and MS. Details of all skills are given in Key opportunities for skills development (page 186).
