Circuits & Voltage

Continuing with Circuit Lab… Continue building your circuits and getting your readings for the circuit lab. REMEMBER: Set the multimeter to 200m DCA Set the multimeter up in series

What does the Battery do to The circuit? What does the Lightbulb do to The circuit? What does the wire do to The circuit?

What are the Differences Between these Circuits?

What are the Differences Between these Circuits?

What are the Differences Between these Circuits?

A Circuit as a String Activity What was the battery? What was the lightbulb? How was current represented? How was voltage represented?

So…what are volts??? Volts are a measure of how much energy is being supplied to the circuit Voltage is measured in VOLTS Energy is measured in JOULES 1 volt = 1 joule per Coulomb of charge

So what do you measure them with? Volts are measured with a voltmeter (also available on a multimeter) Voltmeters must be connect in PARALLEL
