Friday 26 Januari: Deadline Beanproject (hand in before 23:59)
Slide 4 - Diapositive
Basic circuit
Copper wire connects the voltage source to the device and back again. When the switch is closed the electricity can flow through the wire and light the bulb.
Slide 5 - Diapositive
Circuits - Series
All components are in the same loop, end to end.
There is only one direction in which the current can flow.
The same current throughout the entire circuit.
The voltage is shared by all components within the circuit.
Slide 6 - Diapositive
Circuits - Series
Slide 7 - Diapositive
Every ammeter will show the same value.
The voltage is shared by all components.
Slide 8 - Diapositive
Circuits - Parallel
Multiple loops or paths for the current to flow through.
The current is divided over every pathway.
The voltage is the same for all components.
Slide 9 - Diapositive
Circuits - Parallel
Slide 10 - Diapositive
The voltage is the same for all components,
the current is divided.
The current only divides equally if components are the same.
Slide 11 - Diapositive
voltage is the same for all components
current is the same throughout circuit
Series
Parallel
Still works if one lamp is broken
If you connect batteries this way, you can add their voltages
Slide 12 - Question de remorquage
Measuring current
Ammeter: is used to measure the current
The current is measured in amps (A)
The ammeter has to be connected in series with the device.
Slide 13 - Diapositive
Measuring voltage
Voltmeter: is used to measure the voltage
The voltage is measured in volts (V)
The voltmeter has to be connected in parallel to the device.
