Question
In the data above, the units for currents is "A" and for voltages is "V". The Ammeter probes have a
least count of 0.001A or 1mA and the Voltmeters read a least value of 0.1V. The experimentally the
decimal placement implies the precision employed which relates to the significant figures.
1. Report the experimental values of
a. The current through R1
b. The current through R2
c. The current through R3
d. Total current through the circuit
2. Report the experimental voltage drop/the voltage difference across
a. Resistor R1 (Note the voltage drop for R1 =6V-reading on voltmeter 1)
b. Resistor R2
c. Resistor R3
3. Using Ohm's law and the values specified in the circuit, calculate
a. The equivalent resistance and the total current through the circuit
b. The voltage drop/ the voltage difference across the resistor R1
c. The voltage drop/the voltage difference across the resistor R2
d. The voltage drop/the voltage difference across the resistor R3
e. Does the sum of the voltage drop (energy dissipated) across the resistors add up to
the voltage supplied (energy supplied) by the battery?
4. Among the two variables (I/ V), which is constant across all the resistors
