  1. Schematics On or off Batteries Series or Parallel Volts and Amps FJ 100 100 100 100 100 200 200 200 200 200 300 300 300 300 300 400 400 400 400 400 500 500 500 500 500

  2. Draw a schematic of an closed series circuit with one light and one fan. Make your power source be a compound battery in series.

  3. List all the materials in the schematic

  4. 2 light bulbs 1 ammeter 1 switch 1 battery 6 wires

  5. Draw a new schematic to show how you would connect a voltmeter and an ammeter to the circuit right:

  6. Label the symbols

  7. Label the symbols

  8. L1

  9. L3

  10. OFF (this is not a circuit)

  11. Because the volt meter needs to be set across the device it is measuring.

  12. How many batteries are in the compound battery?

  13. 4 batteries

  14. Draw a compound battery in parallel

  15. Fig. 2 and Fig 1 are equal

  16. Figure 1 will last longer

  17. What are the advantages of a compound battery in parallel?

  18. Compound batteries in parallel will last longer.

  19. What are the advantages of a compound battery in series?

  20. Compound batteries in series will provide more power (the fan will spin faster and the light will be brighter).

  21. Which schematic(s) is a series circuit with a compound battery

  22. Which schematic(s) is a s parallel circuit with a compound battery in series?

  23. Which schematic(s) is is a parallel circuit

  24. What is the units for electrical power?

  25. Watts

  26. What is the power rating if you have a 25 Amp saw that runs on 120 volt service ?

  27. The power rating would be 3000 watts

  28. A1=A2+A3 100=A2+50 A2=50
