QUIZ on derivation of charging and discharging equations TODAY.
After the quiz, we'll work on the following problems. These are learning problems, so we will be learning and deepening our understanding of capacitors while we do problems.
Required 2: Ch 27 #61, 63, 65, 67, 79, 80, 2006E2, 1996E2, 2010E2
Enrichment: Ch 27 #66, 69
Also, after learning a little more, I would like for you to revisit the "Tricky Challenge" from the ✅ GoFormative "Capacitor Pre-Lab". There's a new assignment in ✅ GoFormative called "Capacitor Pre-Lab Revisited" which is also due tonight at 10pm.
Homework: ✅ GoFormative "Capacitor Pre-Lab Revisited" due tonight - Tuesday, January 28th at 10pm. Short QUIZ on RC Circuits (above problems) on Friday, January 31st (marking period 2). Watch the video on Dielectrics in Capacitors below:
Period 2: Short QUIZ on RC Circuits Today (marking period 2).
Today, we'll start with electrostatics test corrections.
Then, we'll talk about how dielectrics can increase capacitance. We'll look at the work to insert or remove a dielectric with a problem. Watch the following video for details on dielectrics. Then do problems from the Giancoli textbook Chapter 24:
Required: Example 24-8 and Probs #56, 57, 85, 87
Here's a list of the things you should be able to do by now:
Know how to derive the charging and discharging equations (and also know what they are without doing the derivation)
Know how to get the time constant from a graph two different ways
Know what happens at t=0+ and t=∞ when charging or discharging
Derive the energy stored in capacitor equation
Know how a dielectric changes electric field, capacitance, and energy stored
Know the two different types of problems when inserting dielectrics
Derive the “CAKEd” equation
HOUR 2 - Finally, we'll do a lab where we explore the terms: emf, internal resistance, and terminal voltage.
Safety Precautions:
Make sure your circuit is only connected to the battery for brief (~1 second) periods of time to avoid overheating and wasting your battery.
After finishing the lab, do textbook problems Chapter 27 #10, 14 and Giancoli Chapter 26 #1, 2, 4. Then do 2015E2 to check for your understanding. Watch the homework videos first if you prefer.
Handouts: 📄EMF & Internal Resistance Lab
Homework: If you need to review dielectrics, you may review the video below. Finish the 📄EMF & Internal Resistance Lab due at the beginning of class on Tuesday, February 4th. Watch the following videos:
If you have any trouble understanding the analysis, watch the following video:
Also, EVERYONE should watch this video on maximizing the power for an external resistor:
Periods 4 & 8: Short QUIZ on RC Circuits Today (marking period 2).
Today, if you have not completed the last set, start there:
Required 2: Ch 27 #61, 63, 65, 67, 79, 80, 2006E2, 1996E2, 2010E2
Then, we'll do some more practice AP Problems:
Required: 2002E2, 2003E2, 1986E2, 1988E2 (don't worry about part e), 1989E3
We'll have time to work on these problems again next class after your lab quiz.
Homework: Short QUIZ on RC Circuits next class - Tuesday, February 4th (marking period 3). LAB QUIZ on internal resistance Thursday, February 6th. Finish any of these required problems and do some additional practice. Upload a PDF of your solutions to ✏️ Google Classroom by Sunday, February 4nd at 10pm.
