Light Bulb
Ohm's Law
Resistance





Gabriel A, Tarek L, Andrew L, Zach L, Chris M, Conor P, Ryan W


Post an account of what you consider to be Edison's most important inventions (at least two) with a description of each and your group's view of why they were important.

Also add a section explaining: 1) how Ohm's Law shaped Edison's design for the light bulb and associated systems (Jonnes 59-60); and 2) why Edison made "the internal resistance much smaller than the external load rather than having equal internal and external resistance" in his generators (Jonnes 62).
Once your group is finished, you can start working on your individual papers due Mon at 7pm.

Make sure each page addition is placed on your group's Edison page and remember to save your addition and include an edit comment. You can leave notes for each other while you are working on your pages either through adding comments (see the button in the page toolbox to the right) or in the work area itself. If you take the latter option, make sure to clean up your page before the end of this sequence of assignments. Move these instructions to the bottom of the page so you can consult them while you are working and make sure to put your group members names at the top of the page and formulate your entries so the information is readily accessible and easy to read. At the end of the assignment, each group should add a comment to this page indicating what you thought of this assignment and the advantages and disadvantages of using a wiki in group work. You will also be handing in a sheet with your rankings of the group wikis from best to worst.
