oneone GTE-8C Objective: To calculate the total resistance in complex circuits in order to apply Ohm’s Law. Energy Note: Can Ohm’s Law be applied to imbedded circuits? Drill: 1. Place your Log Book and your ZIP Sheet on your desk. 2. Get a review sheet from the SET. 3. Review the information on the front of the paper.
oneone GTE-8C Activity 1: Recap Find the current going through a parallel circuit powered by a 40 volt source. The circuit has 2 branches, one with a resistance of 3 ohms and the other with a resistance of 8 ohms.
