Design series-parallel circuits.

Design should include

  • determining two or more paths for current to flow (at least one path should have additional pathways)
  • using a conductor, a load, and a voltage source
  • placing loads
  • testing virtual output and branch currents for desired results.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is a series-parallel circuit?
  • What are the minimum requirements to complete a series-parallel circuit?
  • How can a virtual meter be used to test branch current?
  • What are the advantages of simulating a circuit prior to its construction?
  • What are some advantages of series-parallel combination circuits?
