Explore the Intro screen of Circuit Construction Kit DC

Build a circuit that shows how to make a light bulb light up.

Figure out how to measure current and voltage.

Insert an image of your circuit with the current and voltage measured.

Imagine you’re an engineer making a string of battery powered holiday lights. If a bulb burns out current cannot flow through that bulb any longer like if the wire at the bulb has been cut. Figure out how to hook up 2 light bulbs and a battery so that when one bulb burns out or is disconnected the other stays lit.

Insert images to illustrate that your circuit works as expected.

Explain why you think it works.

Imagine that you want to make sure the battery for your string of lights will last as long as possible. A battery will last longer if it powers a circuit with low current. How could you hook up a battery and 2 light bulbs so the least amount of current flows through the battery? Use the measurement tools in the simulation to check your design.

Explain why you think it works.

Develop your understanding Part 2

Instructions: Your goal in this part is to write rules to describe how patterns of current and voltage in a circuit relate to the structure of the circuit. You will need to measure current and voltage in multiple places on several different circuits.

Examples:

Measuring Current

Measuring Voltage

“Current” is the flow of charge, measured in Amps (Coulombs/s). An ammeter measures the current past a single point in the circuit.

The current flowing through point 1 can be written as:

I1 = 0.09 A.

“Voltage” is a measure of the difference in electric potential between two points. The voltmeter measures this difference by placing the two leads (pronounced “leeds”) at two different points.

The voltage between points A and B can be written as VAB = 9 V.

1. 3 main components of a circuit

siniylev [52]

Voltage, resistance and current are the three components that must be present for a circuit to exist. A circuit will not be able to function without these three components. Voltage is the main electrical source that is present in a circuit. :)

According to Coulomb’s Law, what happens to the force when the distance increase between 2 particles?

ohaa [14]

Answer:

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

Explanation:

Coulomb’s law, mathematical description of the electric force between charged objects. Formulated by the 18th-century French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it is analogous to Isaac Newton’s law of gravity.

Both gravitational and electric forces decrease with the square of the distance between the objects, and both forces act along a line between them. In Coulomb’s law, however, the magnitude and sign of the electric force are determined by the electric charge, rather than the mass, of an object. Thus, charge determines how electromagnetism influences the motion of charged objects. Charge is a basic property of matter. Every constituent of matter has an electric charge with a value that can be positive, negative, or zero.

Coulomb's Law says that the force between 2 charges is proportional to the product of the quantities of charge on each and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula for Coulomb's Law is $F=k\frac{q_{1}q_{2} }{r^{2} }$ .

$F$ is the force.

$k$ is the Coulomb's constant ( $8.987*10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }$ ).

$q_{1}$ is the electric charge of object 1.

$q_{2}$ is the electric charge of object 2.

$r$ is the distance between the two charges.

Electric force is inversely proportional to ( $r^{2}$ ) instead of ( $r$ ). As the distance between charges increases, the electric force decreases by a factor of $\frac{1}{r^{2} }$ .
