1 South Pasadena Physics Name 10 Circuits Period Date T U T O R I A L : A M O D E L F O R C I R C U I T S Tutorial Instructions This Tutorial contains Activities and Exercises. Activities: These are intended to be completed in groups with the appropriate laboratory equipment in the classroom, and the results are reviewed by the teacher. Exercises: These are intended to be completed individually at home using the conclusions drawn from the Activities. As you complete these pages, The elements in a circuit are drawn: o o A battery looks like this: The longer line indicates the positive (+) terminal; the shorter line indicates the negative ( ) terminal. A light bulb looks like this: When the instructions ask to rank, use order symbols such as <,, =,, and >. Be precise (for example, < and are different and are not interchangeable). o Bulb A = Bulb B < Bulb C = Bulb D When the instructions ask to describe or explain (i.e. whenever the response space uses a dotted line ), write your response in a complete sentence, using prepositional phrases to precisely describe the subject. Avoid using pronouns (i.e. it, they). Here are poor responses: o o o Nothing. It was bright. The current is bigger. Here are some better responses: o o The bulbs did not light up. Bulb A lit up brightly. o The current through bulb A is greater than that through bulb B. A note about prepositions: o Resistance: The resistance of bulb X o Potential difference: The potential difference across bulb X o Current: The current through bulb X These activities and exercises are challenging. Do not merely go through the motions to simply complete them. Take the time to develop a mental model of what is going on. 1

3 Activity 1: Complete Circuits (in class) 1. With just one wire, one light bulb, and one battery, make the light bulb light. Connect these in a variety of ways. a. Sketch at least four arrangements that light the bulb, and at least four arrangements that do not light the bulb. A battery looks like: A bulb looks like: Wire looks like: Arrangements that do light the bulb Arrangements that do not light the bulb b. What two parts of the bulb need to be touched by the wire in order for the bulb to light? (1) (2) c. What two parts of the battery need to be touched by the wire in order for the bulb to light? (1) (2) d. State the requirements that must be met in order for the bulb to light. e. When the bulb is lit, you created a circuit. Why is circuit a particularly good name for this? 3
4 2. A student has briefly connected a wire across the terminals of a battery until the wire feels warm. The student finds that the wire seems to be equally warm at points 1, 2, and 3. Based on this observation, what might you conclude about the current through the wire at one place compared to another? Light a bulb using a battery and a single wire. a. Observe and record the brightness of the bulb (i.e. dark, dim, bright) when objects made out of various materials (e.g. paper, coins, pencil, lead, eraser, your finger) are inserted into the circuit. Material Brightness b. What is similar about most of the objects that let the bulb light? 4. Carefully examine a bulb. Two wires extend from the filament of the bulb into the base. You probably cannot see into the base, however, you should be able to make a good guess as to where the wires are attached. a. Draw how the wires are attached in the bulb to the right. b. Describe where the wires are attached. Explain based on your observations in parts 1-3. On the basis of the observations that we have made, we will make the following assumptions: A flow exists in a complete circuit from one terminal of the battery, through the rest of the circuit, back to the other terminal of the battery, through the battery, and back around the circuit. We will call this flow electric current. For identical bulbs, bulb brightness can be used as an indicator of the amount of current through the bulb: the brighter the bulb, the greater the current. More flow, more glow! Starting with these assumptions, we will develop a model that we can use to account for the behavior of simple circuits. The construction of a scientific model is a step-by-step process in which we specify only the minimum number of attributes that are needed to account for the phenomena under consideration. 4
5 Activity 2: Current and Resistance of Bulbs in Series (in class) 1. Set up a two-bulb circuit with identical bulbs connected one after the other as shown. Bulbs connected in this way are said to be connected in series. a. Describe the brightness of the two bulbs (i.e. dark, dim, or bright). Bulb A is. Bulb B is. A B The brightness of Bulb A is roughly [ less than the same as greater than ] that of Bulb B. b. Is the current used up in one bulb, or is the current the same through both bulbs? c. Do you think that switching the order of the bulb might make a difference? [ Yes No ] Check your answer. Did it make a difference? [ Yes No ] d. On the basis of your observations alone, can you tell the direction of the flow through the circuit? [ Yes No ] 2. Set up a single-bulb circuit, as shown on the right. a. Rank Bulbs A, B, and C in order of increasing brightness. C b. How does the current through a bulb in a single-bulb circuit compare with the current through the same bulb when it is connected in series with a second circuit? Explain your reasoning based on part a. c. How does the current through the battery in a single-bulb circuit compare to the current through the battery in a two-bulb series circuit? Explain your reasoning based on part b. d. We may think of a bulb as presenting an obstacle, or resistance, to the current in the circuit. Would adding more bulbs cause the total resistance to increase, decrease, or stay the same as before? e. Formulate a rule for predicting how the current through the battery would change (i.e. whether it would increase, decrease, or remain the same) if the number of bulbs connected in series were increased or decreased. 5
6 Activity 3: Current and Resistance of Bulbs in Parallel (in class) 1. Set up a two-bulb circuit with identical bulbs so that their terminals are connected together as shown. Bulbs connected together in this way are said to be connected in parallel. a. Describe the brightness of the two bulbs (i.e. dark, dim, or bright). Bulb D is. Bulb E is. The brightness of Bulb D is roughly [ less than the same as greater than ] that of Bulb E. D E b. Describe the current through the entire circuit based on your observations. Specifically, describe the current through the battery, through bulb D, and through bulb E. How does the current through the battery seem to divide and recombine at the junctions of the two parallel branches? 2. Compare the bulbs in the single-bulb circuit (Bulb C) and the bulbs in the two-bulb parallel circuit (Bulbs D and E). a. Rank Bulbs C, D, and E in order of increasing brightness. b. How does the current through the battery in a single-bulb circuit compare to the current through the battery in a two-bulb parallel circuit? Explain your reasoning based on your observations. c. Formulate a rule for predicting how the current through the battery would change (i.e. whether it would increase, decrease, or remain the same) if the number of bulbs connected in parallel were increased or decreased based on your observation of the behavior of the two-bulb parallel circuit and the model for current. d. How does the total resistance of a circuit change as the number of parallel branches is increased or decreased? 6
7 Activity 4: Formulating our Model (in class) 1. How does the amount of current through a battery depend on the number of bulbs in the circuit and how they are connected? 2. Unscrew one of the bulbs in the two-bulb parallel circuit. How does this change affect the current through the branch that contains the other bulb? A characteristic of an ideal battery is that the branches connected directly across it are independent of one another. 3. The circuit on the right contains three identical bulbs and an ideal battery. Assume that the resistance of the switch, when closed, is negligible. a. Without setting up the circuit, make a prediction and rank the brightness of the bulbs in the circuit with the switch closed.

When the switch is opened, the current through bulb A will [ increase remain the same decrease ]. 10

14 Activity 7: Extending the Model (in class) Our model for electric circuits includes the idea that, for identical bulbs, the brightness of a bulb is an indicator of the current through the bulb. Based on our observations, we can extend the model to include the idea that, for circuits containing identical bulbs, the brightness of a bulb is also an indicator of the potential difference across the bulb. 1. Set up the circuit with three bulbs as shown and observe their brightness. a. Without making voltage measurements, predict the ranking of the potential difference across the battery and each bulb for the circuit on the right. F G H b.

Make sure your measurements are consistent with your predictions. V battery V Bulb J V Bulb K V Bulb L 14
15 3. Both circuits have more than one path for the current. a. Sketch the possible current loops on the diagrams. (A current loop is a single path of conductors that connect one side of the battery to the other.) Then for each loop, calculate the sum of the potential differences across the bulbs in that loop using the measurements you made. Current Loop Sum of V b. How do the sums of the potential differences across the bulbs in each loop compare to the potential difference across the battery? 15
16 Exercises B: Potential Difference (at home) 1. The circuit to the right consists of a bulb in series with an electrical black box. The following are possible contents for the black box. All the bulbs are identical. Box C consists of a single piece of wire. Suppose that each of the five boxes is placed, in turn, into the circuit. (Only one box is in the circuit at a time.) a.

17 Parts 2-4: Box A and box B contain unknown combinations of light bulbs. Bulb 1 is identical to bulb 2. The batteries are ideal. 2.

19 7. Consider the following discussion between two students regarding the change in the circuit when the wire in the circuit is cut, from part 6. Student 1: I think that bulb B will get brighter. Bulb B used to share the current with bulb C, but now it gets all the current. So bulb B will get brighter. Student 2: I don t think so. Now there aren t as many paths for the current, so the resistance in the circuit has increased. Since the resistance in the circuit has gone up, the current in the circuit decreases. Bulb B will get dimmer. a. Is Student 1 correct? Why or why not? b. Is Student 2 correct? Why or why not? c. Bulb B will [ become brighter stay the same brightness become dimmer ] when the wire is cut. 19
