ITS ELECTRIC!

This whole unit we have been learning for the past couple weeks was about electricity. Recently we learned that our houses have mostly parallel set ups. This is because if we had series set ups, we wouldnt be able to run as much electronics off of one circut without crashing it. With parallel set ups, each outlet in the house will get a certain amount of voltage no matter what. This picture is of my computer charger. There are three three prongs. The long round prong is a ground prong. This is one of the things i learned that stuck in my head this week. 

PSSHHH! I LIKE SEE

This week i brought to school my electric bill which was quite high. In class we were told to ask our parents if we could lower the electric bill we could keep the money that we saved. Before asking my parents i asked my uncle and this is the face he made. He didnt say a word but this face definately  means HAHAHA I WANT TO SEE YOU TRY. So i didnt ask my parents i just took it upon myself to try and save electricity.

MISSING CLASS

This week i was not in class to learn the new lesson. So i will tell you what i was doing and why i wasnt in class. On Febuary 1st i signed my National Letter of Intent to the University of Colorado Boulder. There i will continue my football career for four more years. It was a cool experience that i dont think i will feel again. Pono can probably tell you the same thing. I dont like missing physics class but to experience that was worth it.

CAPACITANCE

Capacitance is short term energy storage.  Like Punahou football players it is all bark with no bite. What i mean by this is it stores a lot of voltage but it doesnt have a lot of charge. An example of this is the Punahou football players. They talk a lot and like to run their mouth and store a lot of anger. But when it comes time to play they have no but or no charge. This is the best explination i could think of when thinking of capacitance.
