We started off today by taking our electricity test.
Then, we performed the circuits lab in which we both digitally and physically created our own working circuits. We made light!
Afterward, we hada discussion on the concepts behind circuits and power:
Power - rate of energy consumption
Power = energy/time
Voltage = current x resistance
Energy consumed = Power x time (J=watts x seconds)
Power = IV
Real World connection:
In most houses circuit breakers are installed to keep the energy levels from becoming dangerously high. When the level of electricity in a certain area reaches a certain limit, they shut down all power.
