HS-PS3-6

Analyze data to support the claim that Ohm’s Law describes the mathematical relationship among the potential difference, current, and resistance of an electric circuit.

Clarification statement: Emphasis should be on arrangements of series circuits and parallel circuits using conventional current.

Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to direct current (DC) circuits.

Note: this is a NYSED-specific performance expectation that is different from the Next Generation Science Standards.
