On Kirchoff's Rules and Capacitors, the Return

The whole meeting this week was dedicated to answering a relatively long quiz about our previous two experiments.

The quiz was implicitly divided into two parts: one on Kirchoff's and the other on capacitance. The first set of items on Kirchoff's Rules were quite easy, because it just demanded from us knowledge on how to use the equations of Kirchoff's Rules. But it was a bit of a struggle for me to get the right answer because of wrong arithmetic. Roar.

The second set of items on Kirchoff's Rules required of us deeper thinking. And this is where I was sweating bullets because it was quite difficult.

The capacitance part of the exam was easy, relative to the part on Kirchoff's Rules. We were given the equations of the charge and current. The only thing that we needed to do was to plug in values. :D

Needless to say, this quiz was a challenge for me, but what made it tolerable was the fact that Mac helped me out and that Sir Baldo was there, available if help was needed.

After the exam, Sir Baldo returned to us our lab notebooks. He told us that we were given a chance to revise our not-up-to-par lab notebooks so that we would have a higher score. :D
