does anyone know how to build a circuit??? cause I want to know how to!!!
Your help is appreciated in advance!!!

A circuit is very simple. The most basic of circuits consists of only a power supply and a load (something that uses the power), and obviously a path for the electrons to travel between the power supply and the load.

May I suggest looking at the wiki. It's quite helpful, and it explains the fundamental concepts of circuits, as well as goes further into the areas that the event encompasses. I'm going to spend some time re-writing part of it to clarify and expand on some topics if this indeed does become an event again.

does anyone know what the shock value half of this event is even about??
thnx in advance

The whole event is called Shock Value (Circuits), as seen here -> http://soinc.org/sites/default/files/up ... t6-8-2.pdf
The thread is called Circuit lab/Shock Value because in the previous event table for 2010, both names were there. So the whole lab is about circuits, magnetism, electronics, and the like. Hope I answered your question

yes you did thanks blue cobra

there's magnetism in this event??? I didn't know that
would someone explain what there is on magnetism in this event???????
thnx in advance

Here are the rules from when Shock Value was a trial event:
http://soinc.org/sites/default/files/up ... kvalue.pdf
The official rules should be a bit different, but generally the same topics.

What it says about magnetism is,
"iv) Basic magnetism concepts (e.g. North and South poles, Earth's magnetic field, electromagnet
principles, magnetic vs. nonmagnetic materials, magnet shapes / types)
v) Basic magnetic applications (e.g. use of a compass to determine directions / poles of a magnet,
operation of an electromagnet, use of magnets in motors)"

thanks for the info
what did the "and the like" part mean?

Just meant to tie up any loose ends. Don't worry about it

oh ok bluecobra

is there anything else that I should know about this event????
thnx you mucho in advance

learn everthing in the trail rules and when the normal rules come out learn what is in them
also look through the wiki it has some good info
