Circuitry

We will learn how to apply Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s laws to direct current circuits.

We will relate efficiency to electric power, electric potential difference, current, and resistance. These topics will be covered throughout grade 11 and 12 physics, and relate to many of the projects we do.

You can play around with circuits with these games, or with the PhET simulations. PhET sims are extremely good for learning circuitry without actual lab materials available. Learn about resistance in wires and Ohm's law. This YouTube creator does an excellent job explaining Ohm's Law. Try making and measuring simple circuits. Try doing virtual lab work with circuits. Move on to AC with a more advanced simulator. Learn about capacitors with simple simulation, and a more advanced capacitor lab simulation.

Try the wonderful circuit simulations from the oPhysics electromagnetism site.

A complete course for grade 11 and grade 12 circuitry is available from Khan Academy.

I would recommend the following:

All of electric current, resistivity, and Ohm's Law. Note that they use the letter U for electric potential energy instead of E. Some of it does go past grade 11.
All of electric power and DC circuits. Some goes past grade 12.
Kirchhoff's junction rule.
Kirchhoff's loop rule.
series and parallel resistors. Only simpler examples needed for grade 11.
DC ammeters and voltmeters. For interest only.
DC circuit analysis. This is a grade 12 level example.
