Principle

The students will observe the functional principle of a two-way switch in an electric circuit with two light bulbs in a parallel connection. Thereby they will determine that in both switch positions a current will flow, which is different to the behaviour of the on/off switch. Furthermore, they will think about the functionality of simple electric installations with two or more two-way switches that they know from their everyday life.

Benefits

Associated competences are directly linked to the experiments

Curriculum compatible

Fit for the future: implementation of tablets possible
