Equivalent Resistance

We took the FCI test, debriefed Thursday's lab and learned the key differences in parallel and series circuits.  We also learned how to calculate equivalent resistance and use it in conjunction with Ohm's Law.

HW:  finish green worksheet

Series and Parallel Circuits

We reviewed Ohm's Law and practiced a few problems.  We also talked about key terms like volt, current, resistance and defined them.  The majority of the period was spent doing the parallel and series circuit lab.

HW: Read 525-535; review questions 1-15
