March 28th-A Day of Physics

10:45 AM
*Mr. Wirth wonderfully volunteers me to be scribe. . .
10:47AM
*Begin going over the homework
Example work for #3-
Given Info:
q = 220 C
v = 220 V
t = 4 sec

ESA work:
P = VI
P = V [(delta q)/t]
P = (2200 C)(220 V) /(4 s)
P = 12,100 W

10:55 AM
*Begin notes
*Analyzing Circuits
-several different configurations
-branches
-involves Ohm's Law (applies to circuit and individual resistors)
***Equivalent Resistance: The Resistance Seen By The Source***
R(eq) = V(source) / I (source)

10:58 AM
*Talk about Next Week
-will apply these principals to several different circuit configurations
10:59 AM - 11:00 AM
*Talk about new cell phone policy and pass out the review set #1
11:07 AM
*Still working on review set
11:25 AM
*class ends; have a nice weekend :)

D,
Nice job, and thank you for graciously "volunteering"!

so we started out class by lighting up a lightbulb with a battery and a wire.
We learned the equations P=w/t,

V=W/q, We Have An Electrical Term That Includes Units Of Work (or Energy – Remember They Are Interchangable)


P=VI=I2R=V2/R.

If you multiply power X time, we get back total energy dissipated. Dissipated - Irreversibly Lost, Dispersed, Usually As Heat


Electric power (P)
time-rate at which electric energy is expended.
SI unit: watt (W)(derived unit)
1 W = 1 J/s (1 watt = 1 joule/second)

Electric Energy(W) = Power x Time
SI Unit: joule (J)(derived unit)

Good job breaking down the class period.

great post. I especially enjoyed the bottom when you talked about what we did with our time during class.
