Electricity Lab – Internet Electricity Applets

In this lab your lab team will review the following web sites and work the simulations identified. Insure the following:

• 1 lab write up per team
• Each member contributes 2 reviews of Static Electricity Sites
• Assign sections to each team member
• Complete as a total package
• All team members must participate in working and evaluating each site.
• All team members work each site. The circuit problems in section II are very important.
• All members will work through these problems together. These problems are fundamental ideas we are learning in this unit.
• Each team member will write up one series circuit problem with the solution and one parallel circuit problem with the solution. Each problem will have a drawing of the circuit to include the voltage, amperes and resistance.

Write ups may be on word and printed out hand written (very neatly). Include all team members.

Static Electricity: Sample 8 sites

1. Tribo – OK
2. Static Electricity – list 3
3. Electro Scope – OK
4. Sign of Charge – not working
5. Electro static problems – work sheet
6. Electro static Charges – ok, hard to get going
7. Chargers & Fields – pretty good
8. Electric Field – Descriptions and formulas
9. Electric field force (pretty good – Launching an orbital)
10. Electric Field (a little complicated)
11. Electricity & Magnetism review
12. Electricity – Field Lines – very good
13. Van De Graf – very good (not today?)
14. Coulombs Law – OK
15. Deflection of a charge – no today
16. Lightening – a natural capacitor
17. Electric Field – no
18. Capacitance Model – good?
19. Charging a capacitor -?

Circuits – Do sites 1-6, try 7-9 for extra credit

1. Ohms Law – simple adjustable circuit

2. Light bulb – good

3. Interactive – 2 lights in a circuit – good

4. Resisters in a series – good

5. Resisters in parallel – good

6. Resisters in series and parallel – good

7. Circuit Model – good

8. Build your own circuit (can’t do)

9. Solving for Current
