Electricity and Magnetism
The student will be able to:
measure current and voltage in a circuit
use measurements to determine the resistance of a circuit element
interpret graphs of voltage versus current
measure and compare the resistance of conductors of various lengths and
cross-sectional areas
construct simple series and parallel circuits
draw and interpret circuit diagrams which include voltmeters and ammeters
predict the behavior of lightbulbs in series and parallel circuits
map the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, indicating the direction of the field
between the N (north-seeking) and S (south-seeking)poles
