AT Cycle 22

🔴 1: Th 1/21, 🟡 3: Th 1/21a RC circuits problems (1)

Today, rather than focusing on how capacitors charge and discharge over time, we'll think about what happens immediately after the switch is closed and a long time after the switch is closed. For additional support, watch the following 3 videos.

Remember that an uncharged capacitor acts like a wire and a fully charged capacitor acts like an open circuit. Then think about using Kirchhoff's Loop Rule to solve the rest.

Then, we'll work on a few AP problems involving RC circuits. These are learning problems, so we will be learning and deepening our understanding of capacitors while we do problems.

Required: Ch 27 #61, 63, 65, 67, 79, 80, 2007E1, 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 on Sunday at 10pm.

We will continue these problems next hour.

Homework: Upload pictures of your solutions the four AP problems above in ✏️ Google Classroom by Sunday at 10pm. ✅ GoFormative "Capacitor Pre-Lab Revisited" also due on Sunday at 10pm.

❤️ 1: M 1/25a, 💛 3: M 1/25 series & parallel capacitors

Today, we'll learn about equivalent capacitance in an activity: Capacitors in Series and Parallel. Upload pictures of your solutions to the last two pages to ✏️ Google Classroom by 10pm tonight. Also, put your numerical answers in ✅ GoFormative "Capacitors in Parallel and Series" due tonight at 10pm.

Homework: Finish the Capacitors in Series and Parallel activity and upload work to ✏️ Google Classroom and put your numerical answers in ✅ GoFormative "Capacitors in Parallel and Series" due tonight (Monday) at 10pm.

📕 1: M 1/25b, 📒 3: T* 1/26 dielectrics

Today, 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:
