Maths & Science - What we did.

Aim ; About calculating the area of house and voltage of the bulb by using ohm's law.

Method ; I chose yo pick plan B because I thought that it was perfect for me, it wasn't too difficult but it could still be able to give me a challenge. I ended up wanting to use 8 bulbs in my house because it is the right fit/number. There is a total of 5 rooms inside of the house each having their sole purposes.

Discussion ; From what I've learned current means how quickly the electrons move(flow). Voltage is how much energy the electrons are carrying. Resistance is used to slow/resist the flow of the electrons (current).

Calculating the area ; We firstly calculated the main area which is 9 x 11 = 99, after that we did half base x height (3 x 3 = 9). After all those other calculations we did the half circle at the top of the plan we drew in, 3.14 = 2 pi R (it is like this because it is only half a circle.) Once we got the 3.14 we then multiplied it by two equalling 6.28 we then multiplied that 6.28 into 3 which then equalled to 18.84, we divided that into two which finally led to our answer 9.42. We found that after adding everything together it would equal to 117.42m2 this was the final area of the whole house plan. 

Calculating the bulbs/pathway ; The pathways are the wires that connect the bulbs together. All of the paths had 200v each, we divided the volts depending on how much bulbs there were on that path. Example is that if there were 3 bulbs in one path that would be 200v divided by 3 equals 66.67v, the 66.67v is how much volts get in one bulb. We calculated each pathway and got our answers.

Conclusion ; Did I enjoy this project? Well it sure did have its ups and downs. I enjoyed some parts like being able to draw the houses. If i were to do anything differently I would try to challenge myself more and pick house C, it is always fun to try something new next time! Perhaps for house C ill do more bulbs so that the house can be more lit up!

Here are some pictures I took of my project.
