    1. Be certain that the students have correctly wired the voltage sensor parallel to the load and the current sensor in series with the load.

    2. As more batteries are added to the light bulb circuit, advise students to connect the circuit for a couple of seconds. This will prolong the life of the bulbs.

    3. There is no need to click start and stop as the voltage is changed. Students can simply add a battery, close the circuit, and record the voltage and current values.

    4. To download the Ohm's Law DataStudio file with sample data for this experiment, click on a Windows (Zip file) or Macintosh (Stuffit file).
