Investigating The Resistance Of A Light Bulb As The Voltage Is Increased. Resistance is the resist of electrons flowing through an electrical component. The resistance slows down flow meaning that the components will heat up due to friction. The current in a circuit gets smaller the bigger the resistance is. To work out resistance you can use this formula Resistance = Volts/Current, R=V/I To measure the resistance in a circuit you would need to find out what the voltage and the current is in the circuit. To find the voltage of an light bulb in a series circuit and hence the voltage of the circuit you would need to use a voltmeter which would be connect parallel with the light bulb to find the voltage across the bulb (see diagram below). Then you would need to find the current in the series circuit by placing an ammeter in the circuit which...
