Introduction
In class we've been learning about Ohm's Law and the relationship between voltage and current.
Task
For this assignment you'll be asked to visit websites and complete the tasks on them. You'll deepen your understanding of resistance and it's role in electronics and the variables that affect resistance. The accepted definition and the one you'll find in your textbooks, is that resitance is the ratio between the voltage applied to electrical circuit.
You'll use this opporunity to become familiar with different resistors and will build curcuit using the different resistors. You'll also find practical applications for 3 of the resistors you'll be familiarizing yourself with.
Process
The first website you'll be visiting is to learn about the use for different resistors.
For this website you'll be understanding the
Evaluation
Now you will build a circuit in the following phet simulator. You'll hand in a drawn picture of your cuircuit using the appropirate symbols for the resistors. You can use the following keys for drawing your cuircuit.
You can check your answers by using this website.
