PREPARING FOR THE ELECTRICITY UNIT TEST
1) You will be given a sheet with the following resources:
a. Electrostatic Series
b. Ohm’s Law Triangle
c. Formulas for determining Current, Voltage, and Resistance in series
and parallel circuits.
2) Redo ALL mastery quizzes as many times as you need to. Try for 100%!
a. Make sure that you UNDERSTAND rather than “hope for the best.”
b. Ms. Bragg will not keep track of how many times you try.
3) Go over your notes & all of the practice problems. Practice the problems on
the ohm’s law and predicting... worksheet.
What to expect on the test (Tentative!):
1) 18 Multiple Choice
a. 6 Questions about Electrostatics. Hints:
i. Be able to use the electrostatic series to predict charges on
materials
ii. There are 4 objects: A, B, C, and D. A is attracted to D, etc. type
of question.
iii. Know how both metal leaf and pith ball electroscopes work.
iv. One question similar to concept(s) in activity 10-3.
b. One question about voltaic cells & how they work.
c. 11 Questions about Circuit Electricity. Hints:
i. Understand differences between parallel and series circuits.
ii. What components of a circuit are mandatory for a circuit to
function?
iii. 4 questions about resistance and the factors that affect it
(cross-sectional area, length, temperature, material).
iv. 2 simple ohm’s law calculation questions.
v. 3 questions about predicting current, voltage, and resistance in
series and parallel circuits.
