Description
Grade 11–College. The Carolina® Electricity System 1 Physics Kit comes with 51 components, including a circuit board and all the resistors, lamps, voltmeters, and ammeters needed to investigate core concepts in introductory electricity. Kit has enough material for 1 group of 2 to 4 students to perform all the activities. Multimeters, AA batteries, and a timer are needed but not supplied. Kit components come in a metal ballistics case with high-density foam inserts for easy storage and long life.
With this kit students can explore common experiments such as Ohm’s Law, Series and Parallel Resistance Circuits, Kirchhoff’s Laws, and RC Circuits. The included experiment guide covers 16 activities:
- Simple Electric Circuit with Switches
- Voltmeter Use
- The Voltage Divider
- Ammeter Use
- The Potentiometer as a Variable Resistor
- Ohm’s Law and the Voltametric Method
- Series Resistance Circuits
- Parallel Resistance Circuits
- Kirchhoff’s First Law
- Kirchhoff’s Second Law
- Series Capacitance Circuits
- Parallel Capacitance Circuits
- RC Circuits: Charging
- RC Circuits: Discharging
- The Magnetic Field of a Line of Wire
- The Magnetic Field of a Coil
