Lab 5 Report:
Procedure: Build and analyze the following circuit. For the circuit you are to do the following:
Theoretical Calculations:
- Calculate the theoretical current traveling through each resistor using the values of the battery voltages and Kirchhoff’s Laws.
- Calculate the theoretical voltage across each resistor using the currents from #1.
- Record your predicted answers in table below.
Actual Measurements:
- Wire up the circuit and set the resistor and battery values.
- Use the PHET simulator to measure the current through all resistors with an Ammeter.
- Measure the voltage across all resistors with the Voltmeter.
- Record all values in the table.
