Re: Circuit Lab B/C
Does anyone have an idea of what types of electrical control devices we need to know about as explained in 3. c. vii.?
I was wondering if we might need to know about switches, relays, and solenoids too. Also, I was wondering what everyone is doing to study for the simple measurements, constructions, and configurations of a circuit and individual components as explained in 3. c. viii.
Thanks

On the first, I would study mainly switches and transistors, although anything and everything could be on the test (especially given that it's a big-binder event).BasuSiddha23 wrote:Does anyone have an idea of what types of electrical control devices we need to know about as explained in 3. c. vii.?

Re: Circuit Lab B/C
Ths issue here is that transistors are both semiconductor devices and nonlinear... I'm somewhat confused about what is on the scope of this test.Jacobi wrote:On the first, I would study mainly switches and transistors, although anything and everything could be on the test (especially given that it's a big-binder event).BasuSiddha23 wrote:Does anyone have an idea of what types of electrical control devices we need to know about as explained in 3. c. vii.?

Also, inductance isn't allowed, so I doubt there will be solenoids.

Re: Circuit Lab B/C
Does anyone have any advice on how to design/run the practical portion? In particular, what tasks are common and how many is typical?

Re: Circuit Lab B/C
I haven't been to any tournaments, but I would expect problems involving applications of Kirchhoff's laws to determine resistances/capacitances. In addition, designing a circuit on a breadboard to meet certain specifications, or troubleshooting a circuit could all be possibilities.antoine_ego wrote:Does anyone have any advice on how to design/run the practical portion?

Re: Circuit Lab B/C
At the one competition I have been to, we were asked to find resistance using band codes. I would expect things like how to use multi-meters in the future.Jacobi wrote:I haven't been to any tournaments, but I would expect problems involving applications of Kirchhoff's laws to determine resistances/capacitances.

Re: Circuit Lab B/C
Can someone explain this to me? The answer is 2 amps but I have no idea how to get that answer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FDlON7 ... sp=sharing
Re: Circuit Lab B/C
I'm pretty new to this topic as well,
for the practical, do we just need to know how to use a multimeter or is there more.. will we have to calculate stuff from the made circuit?
also, are there any old practice tests for division b. I can only find ones from division C
thank you...

Re: Circuit Lab B/C
Try looking for Shock Value tests. The practical portion is whatever the event supervisor makes of it.neerja.shah wrote:I'm pretty new to this topic as well,
