Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. This short, snappy session gives students all they need to know on how to measure voltage. By the end of this class, students will have a better understanding on voltage and how voltage varies across components as well as how to connect a voltmeter in parallel to measure the voltage. This class is aimed at students in Years 10 - 11 and is perfect to help boost confidence on the concept before exams.
