Activity 1 Virtual DC Circuit Building

MATERIALS: 2 small bulb,3 thin wire, 2 batteries ( 1.5 volts battery and 3 volts battery) and small electrical tape.

PROCEDURE:

First Set-Up

1. Connect 2 thin wires at both ends of a 1.5v battery.

2. Screw the end of thin wires to bulb.

3. Repeat step 1-2, this time use the 3 volt battery

4. After observing, disconnect the materials.

Second Set-Up

1. Connect thin wires at both ends of 3v battery.

2. Attach the bulb to end of the wires (1 bulb to left and another 1 to the right)

3. Connect the two bulb using the last piece of wire you have.

4. Observe the brightness of the two bulbs.

5. Remove one wire, one bulb and one holder in the set-up then connect what remains in the set-up. Compare the brightness of one bulb to two bulbs connected lately.

Open Ended

In the first set-up, which battery causes the bulb to light brighter? Why?

OHM'S LAW

Law that portrays the relationships between current (I), Voltage (v) and Resistance (Ώ).
The law was named after its proponent George Simon Ohm (1789-1854).
A simple formula is used to show the relationship of current, resistance and voltage.
ΔV = I • R
The electric potential difference between two points on a circuit (ΔV) is equivalent to the product of the current between those two points (I) and the total resistance of all electrical devices present between those two points (R).
