Introduction to Electrical circuits


Learning Goals: Students will be able to
1. Discuss basic electricity relationships
2. Analyze the differences between real
circuits and the simulated ones
3. Build circuits from schematic drawings
4. Use a multimeter to take readings in
circuits.
5. Provide reasoning to explain the
measurements and relationships in
circuits.

real equipment, how would you
determine the resistance of the
resistor?

battery.
B. Use the ohmmeter before connecting the
battery.
C. Measure the current and voltage, then use
Ohms law
D. Two of the above.

2.If you increase the voltage of


the battery, how will the light
bulb change?

are less bright and shorter
C. There is no change because the bulb just
uses the extra energy without changing
brightness

the battery, how will the
electron display
change?

circuit A and then
add a resistor as in
circuit B, the light
will
A
