Ohm’s Law Formula Triangle
Direct TEKS: Physics.6(E)
Supplemental TEKS: IPC.6(A)
Helps students apply Ohm’s law to calculate voltage, current, and resistance and understand quantitative relationships in electrical circuits.
Curriculum connections
Direct connections address a component of a standard, not the entire expectation. Supplemental connections support instruction or extend a lesson. Summaries are paraphrased from current official TEA standards.
High school
Physics
Use Ohm’s law to calculate current, potential difference, resistance and power in series and parallel circuits.
Calculate voltage, current and resistance; power and both circuit arrangements require additional instruction.
Integrated Physics & Chemistry
Design and construct series and parallel circuits to evaluate electrical-energy transfer.
Pair calculations with real circuit construction; Ohm’s law is supplemental rather than explicitly required here.
