CIRCUITS AND ELECTRICITY

  • due Wed, 9/23 - Predict the brightness of the bulbs in a parallel and a series circuit.

  • due Thurs, 9/24 - What is the relative current through a series, parallel, and 1 bulb?  Use labeled diagrams.

  • due Mon, 9/28  - Ex 3.1  F) Use the line of reasoning suggested earlier to summarize the results of this experiment as a rule that you can include in your model for electric current.  The rule should allow you to  predict whether the current through the battery increases or decreases as the total resistance in the circuit is increased or decreased.  Draw and label a diagram to help your explanation. 

  • due Tues, 9/29  - Predict the change of the brightness of the indicator bulb, the change in the current, and the change in the resistance of the circuit.  Explain why you predicted what you did in at least 3 sentences.

  • due Wed, 9/30 - Write a detailed model of the electric circuit.  It needs to be at least a page of information, including the minimum pieces required to create a circuit, how to connect all the pieces, what various words and ideas mean, and at least one diagram.

  •   
  • due Thurs, 10/16 - Using the diagrams and the numbers we found in class, relate the amount of current to the diagram.  How is the current different in a parallel branch compared to the current in a series?  

  • due Mon, 10/19 - Using the diagram, 1) Identify the junctions 2) In a different color, identify 3 elements 3) Based on your 3 elements, identify the nodes
  •  
  • due Tues, 10/20 and Wed, 10/21 - read chapter 23 "Electric Current" (in the blue version of the book).  Make a list of any bold words, including chapter subheadings.  Write a definition for each of these words.  We will  work on this in class on Wednesday and review the definitions in class on Thursday.
