Assignment #7
Part I - Car Circuit (10 Marks)
Built into almost every car is a simple circuit that alerts the driver by “Buzzing” when the
the door is opened and the key is in the ignition. The car will also buzz, when the car is in
drive and the driver has not buckled the seatbelt.
Design a circuit that consists of the following components:
AND Gates
OR Gate
NOT Gate
Buzzer
4 Switches (one for each input (hint: bold letters))
a) Sketch the circuit. Use MS paint or pen and paper. Label each switch. (5 Marks)
b) Do a truth table for this circuit. (3 Mark)
c)Write the Formula. (2 Marks)
Part II - Ohm’s Law (20 Marks)
The Relationship of Voltage, Current, and Resistance is governed by this equation
V=IxR
where:
V = voltage in volts (V)
I = current in amps (A)
R = resistance in ohms
or:
V = voltage in volts (V)
I = current in milliamps (mA)
R = resistance in kilohms (k)
1. Read more about voltage and current on this page:

Example Problem:
A nine volt battery supplies power to a cordless curling iron with a resistance of 18 ohms.
How much current is flowing through the curling iron?
Solution
V=IxR
9 = I X 18
I = 9/18
I = 0.5 Amps
Therefore, 0.5 Amps is flowing through the curling Iron.
