Electricity Mini Labs name: The first two parts of thislab use a virtual circuit tool to create and test different circuit designs. Click Here for the PHET Circuit Construction Kit Part 1: Building Circuits For each challenge, build a working circuit in the PHET Circuit Construction kit and screenshot Three lightbulbs each lit up with a different brightness Hint: you may need to adjust resistances in the bulbs by clicking on them Three lightbulbs anda switch that turns off one but leaves the others on Design a piece of art that involves the lightbulbs in a clever way. Lightbulbs must light up Part 2: Measuring Circuits Build each of the circuits diagrammed below in the PHET circuit builder and use the ammeter and voltmeter to measure the properties in the tables on the right. Circuit 1 20V Measure the voltage usi ing the Voltmeter Voltage across R; Voltage across Rz Voltage across Rs Measure the current usi ing the Ammeter Current at point A Current at point B Current at point C Current at point D Circuit 2 24V Measure the voltage usi ing the Voltmeter Voltage across R; Voltage across Rz Measure the current usi ing the Ammeter Current at point A Current at point B Current at point C Current at point D Part 3: Electrical Scavenger Hunt Find three different examples or items around your house that have electrical properties printed on them. (for example, most chargers or appliances have power/voltage/current ratings). Take pictures of these items showing the label and the object itself and include in the table below
