bring BOTH lab books to class today! bring your parents' power bill to class (yes, for credit!) |
|
|
|
| what
we'll do in class |
the
last of the three circuits from lab D7 |
test
in block D covers anything relating to circuits (including -- but not limited to -- labs D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7) and chapter 21 and chapter 20(5) on capacitors, and chapter 24(1) on alternating voltage both calculations and measurements; you will NOT have access to the circuit building guides lab D8 for block F |
test
in block F; see wednesday block (to the left) for what it covers lab D8 for block D |
lab D9 for blocks D and F you dont have to read the lab in advance, but you do need to do the associated reading below |
|
|
(always done before class) |
|
[also, have you read section 24(1) on alternating voltage? it was in last week's reading] |
22(1) [ & if you have time, 22(8) ] |

you should have finished lab D6 completely with your partner... If you didnt finish in class, this is part of your "homework" |

we'll do in class |
series
& parallel light bulbs |
we
start lab D6; bring BLUE lab book to class |
we start lab D7 |

|
21(5): know the loop rule and junction rule less important: 21(4), since you will be discovering these rules in lab D6 today at some point this week (it doesnt have to be for today), you also need to read about Duke Voltage Difference and alternating voltage (and learn why we say it's 120 volts, even though the peak is not 120 v nor is the average) in section 24(1) |

part
C of lab D6 (no numerical values; solve for each of the 4 equivalent resistances in terms of the single resistor value R) |

homework (by 5 pm) |
|
|
|
|
(you can use your book, notes, old labs, and green-sheet handout on resistances) you may need to come borrow the gray lab instructions from me |
|
|
|
is TONIGHT ONLY at 5:30 pm bring your RED lab book for this practical and your text and your notes |
