Physics 30 - Jan 15

Today we continued our unit on electricity with a look at how Kirchoff's Laws apply to series circuits.  Series circuits are circuits where there is only one pathway for current to flow.  We then learned how Kirchoff's translate for a series circuit and what they mean mathematically.  We watched a quick video that discussed the reasoning behind a series circuit and then did examples 16 and 17.  Students had the rest of class to work on Assignment 5.5.  Tomorrow we will finish the unit by looking at parallel circuits.
