Each electric outlet in a home is connected to the power company through a fuse or circuit breaker. When properly installed, current flows from the power company, through the fuse or circuit breaker, through the outlet and the appliances connected to it, and back to the power company, forming a complete circuit. In this homework activity, students will utilize PheT’s Battery-Resistor Circuit simulation (https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/battery-resistor-circuit) to understand how wiring in a home works as it relates to current, voltage, and resistance.
