02/24/15 (Week 1)

Here we have a simple circuit set up with 3 light bulbs.


This is an example of a circuit diagram for the circuit we have set up above.


Here we find the relationship between charge and current in a circuit.


Taking properties we know that the change in charge is the current we can find the absolute charge in a circuit element. However, this isn't a conventional way to look at circuits.


Potential drop of (Voltage) can be related to the potential energy of a ball at height h. We say the the ball has the amount of energy equal to mgh.


And we know that potential energy can transform into kinetic energy and so forth.


We know about voltage and current, but just measuring two elements in a circuit isn't enough to break down a system into it's most basic elements. Another relationship we need to know for electrical circuits is Power.


From this we can relate current and voltage to power for further analysis.


By using Power, Voltage, and Current we can start solving for different elements in a circuit.







Bread Board Lab

Here we are testing a bread board for the resistances across certain parts of the board. 

From this we can find the relationship of the connections in the bread board.

We discover which elements are open circuits and which elements are closed circuits.
In conclusion, a bread board is a neat way to build and organize circuits.
