For bellwork today we asked which would cook faster: three hot dogs wired in series or three hot dogs wired in parallel? Then we tried it out. The answer was the parallel hot dogs because the power is greater (resistance is lower so current is higher).
We then talked briefly about circuit breakers, why we have them, and how they work. If you missed this the easiest way to get the information is to read section 18.6 in the textbook.
Homework tonight is Ch.18 (p.644) #37, 38, 40.
