Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
Voltmeters can be used to determine the voltage across two points on a circuit. An ammeter can be used to determine the current at any given location on a circuit. The circuit below is powered by a 24.0-volt power source and utilizes four voltmeters and three ammeters to measure voltage drops and currents. The resistor values are 54.5 Ω (R1), 31.7 Ω (R2) and 48.2 Ω (R3). Determine the ammeter readings and voltmeter readings.
