Class Scribe Post-4/1

Class Lesson on 4/1-

Today we learned about the different meters in a circuit. Voltmeter, which is the measure of the potential difference between two distinct points on a circuit. It also has an extremely high internal resistance. We also learned about the ammeter, which is a measure of the current that passes through only one point of a circuit. In the ammeter, it has an extremely low internal resistance, differing from that of the voltmeter. The ammeter also creates an extremely small voltage drop while the voltmeter draws an extremely small current. At the beginning of the lesson we also discussed the difference between the potential difference in a parallel and series circuits through diagrams. We also did practice problems on white boards to better understand and grasp the concepts from previous lessons on circuits. The unit test was announced to be Monday on the material we learned today and the rest of the circuit stuff.
