E. Be able to state basic principles in words and mathematically.
Be able to define.
In words and mathematically the following terms:
 |
Electric current; Current Density; Resistance,; Resistivity; temperature coefficient Conductance; Voltage; Power, Semiconductor; Superconductor |
|
|
Be able state Ohm's law in words and mathematically. |
|
|
Be able to define the units Ampere, Volt, Ohm, Watt etc. |
|
|
Be able to add resistors in series, parallel and combination (Section 20.6, 20.7, &20.7) |
|
|
Be able to add capacitors in series, parallel and combination ( Section. 20.12) |
|
|
Video clip tutorial for handling a circuit that has parallel and series combination |
|
|
. Key Terms and concepts: Emf, internal resistance, resistor, terminal voltage, Kirchhoff's junction and loop rule, Wheatstone Bridge, Potentiometer, |
|
|
(Section
20.10)Be able setup a set of simultaneous equations for a
circuit that has loops with Emfs and resistors as well junctions with incoming and
outgoing currents. If you have a graphic calculator
form HP, TI, Casio etc.. read the section on Matrices, Simultaneous equation
Solver, etc. in you calculator manual and then be able to reproduce the
results in example It is very
important that you master how to solve simultaneous equations using you calculator. Basically the equation is AX = B where A is Matrix of N X N square matrix, X are your N unknowns, B is the RHS of the equation. The solution is X = A(inverse)* B . i.e X =B/A.
