Review:  #57-68 Power; #69-94 Complex Circuits

Continue: Lab 12:1 DC Circuits Q-T to be completed by NEXT Monday, Nov 23

Assigned Reading:  12:13a-o Diodes

Assign:  #95-104 Conceptual

Project Supervision & Evaluation:

• Periodic discussions with individual groups

• Daily debriefing with individual groups

• Emphasize safety in all aspects of project work

SP Physics: The topic of DC Circuits will be developed primarily through a 20 part lab procedure interspersed with Socratic questioning. The emphasis will be on understanding since, in principle, the students have already been introduced to the circuit mathematics.
