FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS:
What is electricity?
How can we use the concepts of Voltage, Current, and Resistance to explain its behaviour is different situations?
Unit Learning Goals:
By the end of this unit, students will….
fully understand the relationship between Voltage, Current, and Resistance and quantitatively predict these values within hypothetical circuits.
construct basic circuits to validate Kirchhoff Laws and Equivalence Laws in a circuit.
use their predict the outcome of a given situation involving electricity and clearly explain why this outcome is possible.
