Di Sc9 – Current Electricity

Ahhh, one of my favorite parts of the course – electrons flowing through your body. Who will be the first to be electocuted? Simon? John? Jay… It remains to be seen.

Please look at the resources we have been using for Static Electricity because there are many current electricity hints as well. Phet?

To get you started, I have a few guiding questions:

  1. What is voltage?
  2. What is DC? AC? ACDC?
  3. How does a battery work?

Make some questions of your own and post it onto your blog.

Assignment: Each group of 2-3-4 will show a short electricity demo and explain the scientific principle. I’d like to start next class so get an idea and I will approve or modify it. We will need to collect the resources and practice. As well, you will need to blog about the science.

Your test will be on all the demos and the principles of electrical current science.
