Like most things on this site, this area is incomplete. This area will have information on the Electricity merit badge, and electricity and electro-magnetism in general.
At present, there are a few documents you can view/download to help you with the Electricity Merit Badge:
- NEW: How to build an electromagnet -- Many of you scouts have had trouble with this, here is a guide with all the information you need to build one, complete with photographs of each step.
- Electricity Merit Badge Requirements -- These requirements have been updated to reflect the changes made in 2004.
- Basic Electricity Concepts and Terms -- A list of several terms, and concepts you'll need to know for the merit badge, with fairly complete explanations.
- Simple DC Circuits -- shows a simple DC circuit that fulfills one of the merit badge requirements
- Electricity Merit Badge Worksheet -- A worksheet to help you test your knowledge. Note: This worksheet does not reflect the 2004 changes made to the merit badge requirements. The requirements are still pretty similar, but the trend for all new merit badge requirements stresses safety.
