Learning outcomes

To be successful in this unit you will need to be able to do:


 * // Basic //**
 * 1) Understand the difference between static and current electricity.
 * 2) Identify and use the standard circuit symbols to construct in- series and parallel circuits.
 * 3) Distinguish between a voltmeter and ammeter in what they measure and how to connect them appropriately in a circuit.
 * 4) Know an ampere is the unit of current and a volt is the unit for the energy and electron has.
 * // Proficient //**
 * 1) Relate the concept of current and electric charge to the structure of the atom and electrons.
 * 2) Predict the differences in voltage and current at different points in series and parallel circuits.
 * // Advanced //**
 * 1) Understand the concept of resistance and investigate the influences on voltage and current when it is varied in different circuits. (Ohm’s Law)
