Basic Electronic Circuit Relations

Description

Every student team will use a solderless breadboard to investigate and explore combinations of resistors and power sources in simple electric circuit designs.

You will use a solderless breadboard to investigate the relationships among circuit, voltage and resistance in series and parallel circuits.
You will learn the principles and operation of a electronic timer.
You will design simple circuits to power LEDs, using series and parallel circuits with or without a timer.
You will learn the mathematical relationships required for the design of a safety light system.
