Circuit Lab

I'll add more later...

Basically, study everything on the sheet. and by everything I mean everything.

It's helpful to get a physics book, and just do random complex circuits.

Know theory and practice.

This is a lab event, so practice with previously built circuits, and using ammeters, voltmeters, and multimeters to take various measurements.

Know the eletrostaticsish stuff...but more like theory. Like know about conservation of charge/energy. There might be multiple choice on this.

KNOW resistor codes, and actually practice with real resistors, because sometimes its hard to tell the difference between colors, and its good to practice, or else you might mix up like brown and red or something.

BIGGEST THING- DO CAPACITANCE PROBLEMS. Don't just know stuff about parallel plate capacitance. Actually work with capacitance in circuits, like equivalent capacitance. OR ELSE YOU WILL FAIL. just kidding. but capacitors work differently than resistors (obviously) so its hard to wing it at the thing.

Split up the test. Trust your partner. You don't have enough time to work together. Buit when it comes to the lab part, you have to work together. Have both people help take measurements, and then split up the calculations after the measurements are taken. Sometimes you think a ammeter/voltmeter is working but there's this weird thing they do to make it not work, so then you have to do the calculations (but they don't tell you that so you have to figure it out with COMMON SENSE).
