Abstract

Ohm's Law is considered as one of the building blocks of electrical circuits. Every discussion on electricity starts with the scientific principle derived by Georg Simon Ohm. The principle states that there is a linear relationship between voltage and current through a circuit with constant resistance. This relationship can be clearly seen in the laboratory by using a DataStudio Workbook.
What is a DataStudio Workbook? It is a DataStudio display that provides all the features required in an electronic lab notebook. In this built-in function, basic text capabilities for writing purpose, theory, procedure and analysis sections are provided for aside from bitmap graphic import for setup sketches, drawings or photographs for inclusion in the lab report. Live data displays (such as graphs, tables and the oscilloscope) for recording and saving data directly into an experiment file or lab reported is an integral part of the workbook.
The DataStudio workbook is a self-contained, multimedia environment that guides students through an experiment. At the same time, it is a multimedia authoring tool that teachers can use to create and present a multi-page experiment activity from start to finish complete with a variety of text sizes and colors, alignment tools and other useful features.
In the workshop, the experiment on Ohm's Law written as a workbook will be created and performed. The experiment will investigate the properties of a simple electric circuit using the PASPORT Voltage/Current Sensor. Also, other workbooks will be shown as examples using the latest sensors from PASCO.
