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
