Blogpost #22


This past week in Science, we continued to learn about electrical currents. On Friday, we were able to set up a circuit involving a battery, a multi-meter, alligator clamps, and couple resistors. We measured the amount of resistance, volts, and milliamps of the circuit. Many of our results varied because all of the batteries had a certain amount of power within them. The circuit offered us a way to understand how many electronic utilities are manufactured and how many homes are wired. The average cost of electricity in Hawai’i is roughly $.25 per kilowatthour. Some households use more electricity than others, depending on how many people live in the house and how many appliances need a constant source of electricity.
