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?
