Title: Facilitator Help Page: Lab 10-1 -- (Do Not Publish)
Course: Basic Electrical Theory and Wiring (Sandbox) > Section: Module 10: Series Circuits

Expectations and Answers

1. The student must show their face in the video for credit.
2. The student must be wearing safety glasses covering their eyes to get credit.
3. The student must submit a legible schematic. See the example below for this lab's schematic.
4. The student must have their name, date, and lab number on the schematic.
5. The wire colors must be on the schematic.
6. All components must be labeled. This includes circuit breakers, push buttons, switches, motors, fans, solenoids, resistors, etc.
7. The circuit must be wired to their schematic.
8. The circuit must work.
9. The student must explain how the circuit works in detail.
  1. This circuit works as follows: Power comes into the three-way switch, and the normally closed position sends power to the light bulb. When the switch switches, the normally closed position opens, turning off the light, and the normally open position opens, turning on the buzzer.
10. The student must correctly measure the voltage across the light bulb.
11. The student must correctly measure the amps across the light bulb.
12. The student must calculate the correct power for the light bulb.  \(P\:=\:V\ast I\:=\:12\:\ast2\:=\:24\:W\). Typical answers are between 22W and 27 W.
13. The student clearly shows lockout/tagout in their video.
14. The student clearly shows that they have verified with a multimeter that the voltage is at or near 0V.
