Today, we’ll start Unit 9 and talk about what makes current flow. We’ll relate circuits to the concepts of electric fields and electric potential.
If you were absent or need a review, watch the first 12 minutes of the "Electric Current Introduction" video to learn how circuits relate to the concepts of electric fields and electric potential.
Then, we'll do a lab where you will construct the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. You will record your data and analysis in the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (in-person)". You should be able to get all of your data during this class period. There may be time at the end of next class period (after the assessment) to work on your analysis. If you are not present for either day of the lab, you'll do the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (virtual)".
Presentation: Electric Current Introduction
Homework: ↩️ Pivot lab due by Thursday, March 27th by 10pm. No late work accepted in Pivot. Study for Electrostatics Unit Assessment next class - Wednesday, March 26th!
Electrostatics Unit Assessment TODAY!
With any remaining time, you may work on your ↩️ Pivot Interactives Lab "Current and Voltage in Conductors (in-person)".
Homework: ↩️ Pivot lab due by Thursday, March 27th by 10pm. No late work accepted in Pivot.
Today, finish your ↩️ Pivot Interactives Lab "Current and Voltage in Conductors (in-person)".
Homework: ↩️ Pivot lab due tonight - Thursday, March 27th by 10pm. No late work accepted in Pivot. Watch the following video on the formula for resistance in a wire in terms of resistivity, length and area. You will be responsible for the contents of this video on the next assessment.
