ACTIVITY SHEET IN GRADE 8 (First Quarter)
Learning Competencies: Infer the relationship between current and voltage.
Reference:

NAME _______________________________ Grade __________ Score___________

PROCEDURE:

1. Construct a simple circuit using a dry cell, a bulb, a switch and an ammeter. Close
the circuit by turning on the switch. Observe the bulb and the ammeter. Record
the ammeter reading in Table 1. Upon completion of the task, switch off the
circuit.

2. Add another dry cell to the circuit. Record the electric current measurement in
Table 1. Once the task is done, turn off the switch.

3. Connect the voltmeter in the circuit as shown in Figure 5. Switch on and record
the voltage ion Table 1. Once the task is done, turn off the switch.

 4. Add another dry cell to the circuit. Record the voltmeter reading in Table 1.
Observe the brightness of the bulb. Once the task is done, turn off the switch.

Q1. What is the reading on the ammeter?

Q2. Compare the brightness of the bulb with one dry cellto its brightness when there are
two dry cells in the circuit.

Q3. What is the ammeter reading this time?

Q4. What can be inferred about the current passing through the bulb?

Q5. What is the voltmeter reading?

Q6. Describe the brightness of the bulb.

Q7. What is the voltmeter reading this time?

Q8. What can be inferred about the voltage across the bulb?

Q9. Refer toTable 1, how are the voltage and current related?
