🔴 2: W 1/10a, 🟡 4: T 1/9, 🔵7: T 1/9 - time-dependent RC circuits
Today, we'll learn what a capacitor does when it's in a circuit. This PhET simulation will assist with our investigation. We will compare and contrast a capacitor with a battery. Then, we'll use Kirchhoff's Laws to determine an expression for the charge of a capacitor as time changes.
Then, we will collaborate to understand Jon Ting's video by forming heterogeneous groups/pairs to ensure everyone understood the derivation. NOTE: When Jon Ting talks about the "area under the curve," he made a mistake - it's not area under the curve. Try to make sense of it without thinking about area.
Homework: Read sections 27-3 & 27-4 in your textbook. Rewatch Jon Ting's video.
🟥❗ 2: W 1/10b, 🟨❗ 4: W 1/10, 🟦❗ 7: W 1/10a - capacitor pre-lab
Today, we'll practice the derivation of the charge on a capacitor over time (charging and discharging) as well as the currents over time. Submit a picture of your work to ✏️ Google Classroom.
Then, we'll complete Capacitor Pre-Lab in ✅ Formative.com utilizing what you learned from South alumnus Jon Ting's video on how to use Kirchhoff's Laws to determine an expression for the charge of a capacitor as time changes.
Homework: Quiz on equivalent resistance (combo circuits) & Kirchhoff's Laws Electrostatics Optional Remediation Wednesday, January 17th. Submit a picture of your derivation of charging and discharging equations in ✏️ Google Classroom by tonight Wednesday at 10pm. If you did not finish the pre-lab in ✅ Formative.com above, do so by Wednesday at 10pm. Watch the following videos on energy stored in capacitors. They are similar with slightly different approaches.
❤️ 2: Th 1/11, 💛 4: F 1/12a, 💙7: W 1/10b - breadboard
Today, start a lab to learn about the circuits equipment we have available to us in order to measure the voltage and current "through" a capacitor. In particular, you'll learn how to build an RC circuit with a 1F capacitor breadboard. This is a warm up for your big formal lab next lab period, so make sure you understand this one!
Presentation: Breadboard Intro
Homework: Quiz on equivalent resistance (combo circuits) & Kirchhoff's Laws Electrostatics Optional Remediation Wednesday, January 17th. Read sections 27-3 & 27-4 if you haven't already. Rewatch Jon's video on charging and discharging capacitors if you feel like you need to.
📕 2: F 1/12, 📒 4: F 1/12b, 📘7: Th 1/11 - 1F capacitor lab (1)
Today, perform the lab to learn about the circuits equipment we have available to us in order to measure the voltage and current "through" a capacitor. In particular, you'll learn how to build an RC circuit with a 1F capacitor breadboard. This is a warm up for your big formal lab next lab period, so make sure you understand this one! Today, you'll just start building your boards. We won't take data today.
