Measuring Electricity – Voltage

...

In Tinkercad, you just need to click on a resistor to get the option to change its resistance. Note that color bands on the resistor will get changed accordingly!

 

A simple circuit to turn on an LED is shown below. It also incorporates a meter to measure current.

Now, we also incorporate the measurement of voltage across the resistor. We can verify that Ohm's law holds: 1.08V/3.26 mA = ~330 Ohm.
