Week 8
Hextronics

Today's class was about energy being distributed though electricity.
Definition: Electricity is the flow of electrical energy through a conductive material.

Current (I) Voltage (V) Resistance (R) Power (W)

Voltage= Current* Resistance
Current= Voltage/Resistance
Resistance= Voltage/Current
Power= Voltage* Current

Conductors: Are materials through which electrical current moves freely (Metal, cooper, silver, gold, wire, aluminum foil, jewelry)

Power sources: -DC (Direct current)
-AC (Alternating current)

We were told that in most buildings spst switches are the most commonly used.Transistors: Are used to amplify an electrical signal

Our assignment was to create an electrical circuit using leds. We were each assigned a letter and we had to find a way to incorporate the lights into our designs.
