DC Circuits Week 4
Week 4 DC – Beginning Parallel Circuits
As per the lesson plan, we today tackled Resistor types and ratings and colour codes. That was smooth, no problems here, most people did quite well with that. More can be found about resistors in Chapter 2 of the Floyd text. We did two powerpoint for this, one participatory and one an overview with much about E12 and E24 in nice colour.
Then we moved on to Parallel resistive circuits, Floyd Chapter 5. I have another two powerpoint for this, one with participation in class, one much deeper with homework questions. The board notes I have tried to put most of the important things here, and the journal notes are here also. Here below are the links to today’s powerpoints: (they are locked and you will need the unlock code I have given you)
