3 Introduction Introduction (LSI Quadrant I): SAY: Today we are going to learn about electrical circuits. ASK: Does anyone know the difference between AC voltage and DC voltage? (AC varies, DC is constant) SHOW: A battery. SAY: This voltage produces a constant, steady voltage. ASK: Does anyone know how this battery works? (converts chemical energy into electrical energy) SAY: Even though AC voltage is the commonly used power source in our homes, we are going to use DC voltage to show how an electrical circuit works. ASK: Does anyone know why we want to use DC voltage to describe circuit operation? SAY: Because a steady, constant voltage is much easier to deal with mathematically. So, even though some of this material may seem difficult to you, this is actually the easiest way to learn about how circuits work. Outline Outline (LSI Quadrant II): Instructors can use the PowerPoint presentation, slides, handouts, and note pages in conjunction with the following outline. MI Outline Notes to Instructor I. Common circuit elements (slide 2) A. Battery cells connect in series to make a battery. Note: POLARITY B. One common circuit element missing from this picture is a switch (EE pg 59) C. The LED is an electronic device and is not covered here, but it is ON D. Note how the voltmeter and the ammeter are connected Begin DC Circuits PowerPoint presentation. Refer to Electricity and Electronics textbook page 59. This presentation starts off pretty basic, but by the end gets pretty hard, requiring some advanced problem solving skills.. II. Circuit devices and symbols (slides 3-8) A. Definitions make good board work B. Students need to write, draw, make their own circuits Continue PowerPoint presentation. Voltage and current are covered in more detail in Basic Electricity and Electronics Module 1 lesson. Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 3
4 III. A simple electric circuit (slides 9-13) A. Introduce the switch as a control element B. A complete circuit needs a path from one side of the battery to the other C. Interrupt the circuit anywhere, current stops flowing D. This switch is a single pole, single throw (SPST) Continue PowerPoint presentation. Kirchoff s Law shows that in a series circuit, the ratio of the voltage drops equals the ratio of the resistances. IV. Ohm s Law (slides 14-19) A. There are 3 forms of Ohm s Law B. The Ohm s Law circle is also shown as a triangle, either form works the same (EE pg 72) C. Use the circle to help solve the first 3 problems Continue PowerPoint presentation. The Ohm s Law circle is a memory aid to relate the 3 electrical values, but students should also be able to use algebra to solve for different unknowns. Refer to Electricity and Electronics textbook page 72. V. Series Circuits (Slides 20-23) (EE Ch 6) A. These additional formulas create a tool chest to solve different types of problems B. Ohm s Law is the basis for most of these additional formula s, but they will look new C. The formula s are derived from simple electrical properties Continue PowerPoint presentation and refer to Electricity and Electronics textbook chapter 6. This section starts to get harder, but this is where we can point to some academic rigor. The ability to work through multiple steps to solve a problem is a valuable skill. VI. Parallel Circuits (slides 24-28) (EE Ch 7) A. Each branch is a separate and independent circuit B. What happens in one branch does not affect any other branch C. Total resistance in a parallel circuit is lower than the smallest resistor value D. Using the calculator s 1/x button can make parallel circuit calculations easy Continue PowerPoint presentation and refer to Electricity and Electronics textbook chapter 7. Many of these problems are designed to develop logical and problem solving ability in students. These circuits are arguably Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 4
5 the easiest way to develop these skills. Verbal Linguistic Logical Mathematical Visual Spatial Musical Rhythmic Bodily Kinesthetic Intrapersonal Interpersonal Naturalist Existentialist Application Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Show students how to work the problems using the presentation. Change some of the electrical values and guide the students through the steps to the solution. Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Have students work problems from chapters 1-7 of Electricity and Electronics (EE) textbook. Have students take the DC Circuits quiz. Summary Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV): Question: What are some of the key concepts used in a series circuit? Answer: Resistance adds, current is the same everywhere, voltage drops are split up between components in a ratio depending on their resistance. Question: What are some of the key concepts used in a parallel circuit? Answer: Voltage is the same across each branch, current is different in each branch and depends on branch resistance, total current adds and is the sum of the individual branch currents, total resistance divides using the inverse formula, and total resistance is always lower than the smallest branch resistance. Evaluation Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III): Teacher observation of board work and problems from the Electricity and Electronics textbook. (Series Circuits: page 104, problems 1-7; Parallel Circuits: page 111, problems 1-5) Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV): The DC Circuits quiz. Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 5
6 Extension Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV): Have students build different circuits in lab, and then take measurements to verify that calculated values can predict actual values. Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 6

24 Solution 1 - Problem 1 Slide What is total resistance? R T = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 = 250Ω + 150Ω + 500Ω = 900Ω 2. What is total current? I T = = = A = ma 3. What is V 1? V 1 = I 1 x R 1 = ma x 250Ω = 3.33 V 4. Work the problem with V S = 16 V, R 1 = 400Ω, R 2 = 600Ω, R 3 = 1000Ω Follow steps 1 3 above with these new values. R T = 2000 Ω I T =.008 A= 8 ma V 1 = 3.2 V Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 24
25 Solution 2 - Problem 2 Slide Write the formula you need: R 1 = You have V 1, but you don t have I 1. Current in a series circuit is the same everywhere, though, so if you can solve for any current you will have I The formula for current is voltage divided by resistance, and you don t seem to have both of those values. However, you have R 3 and can solve for V 3 using the formula V T = V 1 + V 2 + V 3 or V 3 = V T V 1 V 2 V 3 = 20 V 6 V 4 V = 10 V 7. I 3 = = = A = I T = I 1 8. R 1 = = = 360 Ω R 1 = 360 Ω Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 25
26 Solution 3 Problem 3 Slide Write the formula you need: R 2 = You don t seem to have either V 2 or I 2. In a series circuit, though, current is the same everywhere so I 2 = I 3 = I T = 6 ma 10. Now, you can solve for V 3 using the formula V 3 = I 3 x R 3, where I T = I 3. V 3 = I 3 x R 3 =.006 A x 1500 Ω = 9 V 11. V T = V 1 + V 2 + V 3 or V 2 = V T V 1 V 3 = 18 V 3 V 9 V = 6 V 12. R 2 = = = 1000 Ω R 2 = 1000 Ω Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 26
27 Solution 4 Problem 4 Slide Write down the equation for I 3. I 3 = You don t seem to have either of the unknowns you need. 2. However, you can solve for V 1 (which is the same as V S which is the same as V 3 ). V 1 = I 1 X R 1 =.064 A X 250 Ω = 16 V 3. You can also solve for R 3 because you have R 1, R 2, and R T. Or = - - Which you can perform with the calculator: = 840 R 3 = 840 Ω. Now you can solve for I I 3 = = =.019 A = 19 ma Copyright Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved. 27
