Aim:
To learn about voltage and other stuff connecting to Ohm's law, and connecting them all together. And to learn about calculating the area of the house and voltage of the bulb, using Ohm's law.
To learn about voltage and other stuff connecting to Ohm's law, and connecting them all together. And to learn about calculating the area of the house and voltage of the bulb, using Ohm's law.
Method:
Me and my two other friends took Template B/2 To get a little bit more of a challange and to have a little bit more higher grade. Me and my group used 8 bulbs for the whole house. We had one on the bathroom, living room, laundry room, bedroom, lounge, a kitchen then a pantry.
Results:

Disscusion:
Lounge:
3.14 = to 2 pi R 3.14 needs to be multiplied by 2 which equals to 6.28. Then that answer needs to be nultiplied by 3. We got 3 by deviding the whole area which is 6m, by two. By deviding those two you'll get 3m. Thats 3 x 6.28 equals to 18.89. After all of that 18.89 needs to be devided by 2 and that adds up to 9.42.
Main area:
H x W / Height x width
Height both sides : 9m
Width : 11m
9 x 11 = 99m
9 x 11 = 99m
Pantry:
Half base x Height
Base = 6
6 devided by 2 equals 3.
Height = 3
3 x 3 = 9m
Height = 3
3 x 3 = 9m
For this one to find the area we need to times half base by it's height. The whole base equals to 6m which needed to be devided by 2. That equals to 3. Then that 3 needs to be multiplied by it's height which is also 3. Meaning 3 x 3 = 9m.
Whole area:
99 + 9 + 9.42 = 117.42
For the whole area. We need to add up all of the area we calculated for the whole house and then we'll be able to find the answer.
Pathway:
For the pathway and the bulbs, each have 200 voltages. For one bulb you'll have to divide it by the voltage and you'll get the answer. You divide it based on how many bulbs are in one pathway. It all goes the same as Bulb 1. But this time you need to devide the Voltage with the answer you got from the pathway to find the amps. After that then you'll find out what amps you have for each pathways. After all the equations we came apon the answer; 21.34.
How we did this is showed in the picture up there.
I think that these calculations made me understand on how electricity actually works and how they are made. These calculations I have made a lot of sense for me because this is how I would usually take notes of how to do them. But of course at first it actually confused me most of the time. I wasn't at school for a day which was a really bad idea because that was the day the class was tought on how to work it out. Good thing though one of the people in our group was there which who helped us on how things works.
Overall I really enjoyed this project because I get to learn a lot more about Physic science and maths altogether. Now looking back at it I used to think that these kind of stuff are so complicated and I would always get confuse if I would ever do this. But now that I have done it I was actually right about those things. It was complicated yet easy to adapt (for me at least) and I got really confused for most of the time. However I really like it because I now learned something new and was able to challenge myself. To be honest the next time if we ever do this again, maybe I would do the same thing I've done; taking notes of how to do them and how I would be able to solve them. If it was the house plan... Maybe I'll go for Plan c since I now know how to work it out and I'd be good since it gives higher grades.
