Electricity Unit

GOALS

Process:

·      Use electrical measuring equipment such as voltmeters and ammeters

·      Draw and interpret circuit diagrams

·      Create and interpret graphs relating voltage to resistance

Content:

·      Correctly apply equations P=IV and V=IR in order to determine the power, potential difference, current, and resistance for any point in a circuit

·      State the differences between parallel and series circuits

o   Calculate resistance in parallel and series circuits

·      Properly use terms resistance, current, voltage, power, and charge and know their associated units

·      Describe the function and structure of electrical equipment (batteries and capacitors)

·      Describe what resistance is and what affects an object’s resistance

·      Know the difference between direct and alternating current
