At the beginning of this week I was formerly given my final assignment of the semester – a practical project in which I must construct some type of simple circuit to be able to provide a solution a problem. This assignment is due in about two weeks from now, and...

Last week in robotics, I looked more into Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Law in some basic circuits. Ohm’s Law made sense at first, and when I did the maths to find amperage and voltage throughout a circuit, I got results that seemed correct. When having...

Last week I was given work to better understand the physics of circuits in order to develop my understanding of how they work, so I am prepared when it comes to my practical project in the next few weeks. I looked at how electricity passes through different types of...
