Resistors & Current (Update)


This is a tech set-up introduced us to parallel circuits with two batteries and two light bulb. we have a switch in between the batteries to see what would happen to the third light bulb when the switch is switched to on.


This is a different circuit that we had to determine. We have a switch in between the batteries to see what would happen to the third light bulb when the switch is switched to on. 


Here is the prediction of what would happen to the light bulbs when it is switched on. We were wrong. 


Here is a different circuit and we had to change the predict what would happen. I still do not get it because things are not what it seems.

In the end nothing happened. I thought the A would get brighter and B would stay the same.


This is the calculation that we had when we had circuits in series and parallel. We learned that a series circuit has the same current and the parallel has the same voltage.


This is the close up of the parallel circuit that we calculated. There is a little off of the mark because of the data lost in the things like proper connections, resistance in wires and other errors.


Here we learned how to determine the resistance of a standard resistor. This is a very important life lesson that i was glad to have. I will need to review this later on nevertheless.


This tells you how to calculate the resistance in a circuit. This will be used for the rest of the calculations when it comes to resistors.


This is the first calculation of what the total resistance of the resistors in the wire.


THIS WILL BE ON THE TEST!!!
