All Wired Up

You are an electrical apprentice. A customer has recently contracted your company, W.A. Day
Electric, to wire two rooms in their house home. Your boss (Miss. Harbers) has assigned you to
create an electrical blueprint for the project, wire a shoebox model, and evaluate the final
design.

1.Draw a detailed and clearly labeled diagram of your circuit design that meets both the
customer’s request and available shop materials. The diagram must be labelled with the
supplies that will be used for each circuit. Also, the location of each switch and materials used to
make the switch are required.

2. Each room must have its own circuit controlled by a switch.

3.A different switch must be used in each room.

4.Due to a shortage of electrical wire, you need to use additional materials to conduct electricity.

Below list the materials you will be using:

5. Each room must have at least one light.

6. Test finished design to ensure that circuits and switches are working according to plan.

7. Using an iPad, take a video of your working shoebox house and explain what type of circuit
you made and demonstrate how it works.
