• In the sink room you connect a 100 ohm resistor across terminals C and D. • You and the friend do the measurements. • You get a measurement of: 0.3A going through your 100Q resistor • Questions: a) What do you and the friend see (with the measurements)? b) What is the circuit like in the other room? Why?

Question
The diagram illustrates a basic electrical circuit using an analogy of two rooms: the Source room and the Sink room. 

- **Source Room**: 
  - Contains a person labeled "A" and is powered by batteries.
  - Two wires labeled "A" and "B" exit this room.

- **Sink Room**:
  - Contains a person labeled "D."
  - Two wires labeled "C" and "D" enter this room.

- **Connections**:
  - Wires connect points "A" and "C" as well as "B" and "D."
  - A switch is located between the two rooms, controlling the flow between them.

- **Components**:
  - Batteries supply energy to the circuit, located near the Source room.
  - Resistors are connected to the wires entering the Sink room, altering current flow.
  
This visual representation helps explain electrical flow from a power source through wires, regulated by a switch, and modified by resistors before reaching the endpoint.

**Circuit Experiment Overview:**

- **Setup**: In the sink room, you connect a 100 ohm resistor across terminals C and D.

- **Measurement Process**: Together with a friend, you take measurements.

  - **Observation**: A current of 0.3 A is flowing through the 100Ω resistor.

- **Questions**:
  a) What do you and your friend observe with the measurements?
  b) Describe the circuit arrangement in the other room. Provide reasoning for your explanation.
