Title: Measure current, amps, voltage, and resistance in various direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) energy systems.
Course: Renewable Energy (17105) > Section: Examining Energy and Power

Measurement should include

- using a multimeter

- configuring the multimeter

- applying settings to measure
  - voltage (i.e., electrical potential)
  - current (i.e., flow of charge)
  - resistance (i.e., opposition to flow of charge)

- recording the battery charge and discharge rates in a data table.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference among the amps, current, voltage, and resistance measures between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
- How do volts change when measuring a series circuit vs. a parallel circuit configuration?
- How are amps affected in a series circuit vs. a parallel circuit configuration?
- How does a cell phone or laptop discharge at different rates based on use or settings?
- How does a lithium-ion battery discharge compare with an alkaline or a dry-cell battery discharge?
- How is AC safely measured?
