By constructing basic electric circuits and measuring current flow, you are broadly answering the question: "How do voltage, resistance, and current interact in an electrical circuit?" This encompasses understanding the relationships described by Ohm's law, which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. Thus, your experiment will help elucidate how changes in voltage or resistance affect the current flow in an electrical circuit.
By constructing basic electric circuits, you will be able to measure current flow. With Ohm’s law in mind, what broad question are you answering by doing this experiment?
