Ohms Law In A Simple Circuit
This animation introduces voltage, current, and resistance individually before combining them in a simple circuit with a battery, switch, resistor, ammeter, and voltmeter. Closing the switch sets electrons flowing, with meter readings updating live. Changing resistance from 1 kΩ to 2 kΩ halves the current, while doubling voltage from 9 V to 18 V doubles it, visually reinforcing Ohm's Law. Electron flow and conventional current direction are shown separately for clarity. Useful for introductory physics or electronics students learning basic circuit behavior.

The prompt that made it
Create a simple 2D educational animation explaining voltage, current and resistance. First explain each concept visually. Then construct a circuit containing a 9 V battery, switch, 1 kΩ resistor, ammeter and voltmeter. Show the switch opening and closing. When closed, animate electrons moving through the wire and show the ammeter reading 9 mA. Then change the resistor from 1 kΩ to 2 kΩ and show the current changing from 9 mA to 4.5 mA. Then change the battery from 9 V to 18 V while keeping resistance at 1 kΩ and show current changing from 9 mA to 18 mA. Animate the current indicators, circuit values and meter readings together. Clearly distinguish electron flow from conventional current direction. Use simple labeled diagrams similar to an educational circuit illustration, not stock footage.
Make the next one in this series
- Show how adding a second resistor in series changes total resistance and current.
- Animate the same circuit with resistors in parallel and compare current splitting.
- Explain power dissipation in the resistor using P = IV as the circuit runs.
