Circuit Calculations

Thurs. May 13 and Fri. May 14

Please go to the specific section tab above for homework!

PhET Circuit Simulations and Q4 HW#4 Electricity Calculations due on Thursday March 20/Friday March 21

Today students learned about various equations that govern electrical concepts...


V = IR                   P = IV                   P = E/t                  I = Q/t


V = voltage in volts         R = resistance in ohms    E = energy in joules       
Q = charge in coulombs            I = current in amperes            P = power in watts         
t = time in seconds         

Next week we will be making real circuits and students will learn to use digital multimeters!
