Activity 11 Edmark Electricity Lab

This document provides instructions for an experiment using a computer simulation to construct and analyze series and parallel electric circuits with lamps. Students will create different configurations of series and parallel circuits with varying numbers of lamps and record the current, voltage, and resistance measurements. They will then answer conclusion questions about how adding more lamps in series versus parallel circuits affects brightness, current, voltage, and total resistance.

Name ________________________ Edmark Electric Circuits

Period_______ Teacher_______________ Activity #11

Aim: 1. To construct and measure the Current (I), the Voltage (V) and the Resistance (R) of lamps in series and parallel. 2. To record the resistance, amperes and voltage of each lamp within the set. Computer Simulation Edmark Virtual Electricity lab is a tool to study electric circuits through a computer simulation. In this activity you will report observations and inferences about Series and Parallel Circuits. You will use the circuit board simulator to create series and parallel circuits. Procedure: 1. Using your prior knowledge of how a complete circuits are arranged, construct the following circuits using Edmark Virtual Electricity Lab and record the following: a. Individual resistance of each lamp b. Total resistance of each lamp c. Individual voltage drop across each lamp d. Total Voltage e. Individual amperes fed to each lamp f. Total amperes

2. Lamp configurations a. 1 lamp in series b. 3 lamp in series c. 6 lamp in series d. 2 lamp parallel e. 3 lamp parallel f. 4 lamp parallel g. 5 lamp parallel h. 6 lamp parallel

3. Draw a schematic diagram using the following symbols of ALL circuit configurations in previous list. As shown in the example schematic diagram.

Conclusion Questions: 1. How do you recognize a Series Circuit?

2. How do you recognize a Parallel Circuit?

3. How did the brightness of the lamps change as you add lamps in series?

4. How did the brightness change if you add lamps in parallel?

5. How do amperes change in a Series circuit? Parallel Circuit?

6. How does voltage change in a Series circuit? Parallel Circuit?

7. How does total resistance change in a Series circuit? Parallel Circuit?
