Hypothesis HW

For our next formal lab, which we will begin next week, you will ask the question:

How does resistance affect electrical current?

Do not do any formal research on this question.  Instead, think about it and put your ideas into a testable hypothesis.  And since you will be making a graph of current (y-axis) vs. resistance (x-axis) in the lab, show (in your hypothesis) what you think the graph will resemble (with a sketch).  

Important info:

Current (I) is the rate at which charge "flows" in a circuit.

Resistance (R) is a measure of "push back" against current.

So bring your hypothesis and expected graph sketch to next class.
