If your brain is anything like mine you are starting to go into a kind of daze now when I put equations on the board. When I was at school I never really understood what the equations meant or when I was supposed to use them… What I did know was that distance was measured in metres, time was measured in seconds and speed (or velocity) was measured in metres/second. So you could say I knew the units of what I was trying to find out. So I would find an equation that gave me the units of what I was looking for, and see if I could combine the numbers I got in the question using that equation. Its a pretty cack-handed way of going about things now I look at it, but it was successful enough.Learning that “I” stood for current, which was measured in Amps would have been a huge leap forward when I was 15…Hope you are all having a lovely evening, remember to study for the car test 
You found out about how voltage gets used up round a series circuit, and how parallel circuits are like magic, and all are little independent circuits… Next week we have a unit standard test on Tuesday – I think it is contextual and on cars so we have to do some Weird Stuff on Monday. Congrats to Mos, Josh and Luke who got a 2 credit unit standard done today while the rest of you caught up to them… We made it! First week down! Weekend! Hooray!!
Its pretty disappointing how much time you guys waste during practicals – now we have to use another period getting the voltmeter readings.
You should have found the ammeter readings are the same the whole way round the circuit, and as Reggie pointed out that is because they are measuring the number of electrons flowing, which should be the same as electrons don’t get used up!!
Tomorrow the voltmeters, and you should find quite a different pattern, which makes sense as the voltmeter measures the energy in the electrons, which should change as they go round the circuit…
No homework to hand in, but have a read of pg 83 and 84.
You have now been told what electricity is and you also know what ammeters and voltmeters measure. Tomorrow we will use the gear…
You have a worksheet for today’s homework which I will take in and mark. You also have your magic sheet of information to glue into your books – remember I am not giving you another one of the magic sheet… If you lose it, your loss!
