Blog like 9. Calculator Circuits
In pre-calculus we had to do a calculator project. This project reqires the student to create a program by entering a copious amount of graphs to form some sort of picture. My picture is the Cheshire Cat. It has taken many graphs and is not nearly finished but I took a break to write on some of the physics behind my calculator. Everyone of the hundereds of times I depressed a button on my calculator a circuit is completed allowing a flow of electricity to run through wiring inside the calculator. This triggers the memory of the calculator which holds the information of that single stroke untill it is needed again. Every time buttons are pushed circuits are completed so that electrons can flow through the wiring which has a voltage difference across it and current running through it. Wow physics is even crucial to the math that proves it.
