Question Take a moment to look over the simulation and find all the… Take a moment to look over the simulation and find all the different materials. To build a circuit you will need several wires, a light bulb, a voltage source, a voltmeter, and an ammeter. Play with it to see how to grab and manipulate these tools. Click the reset button when you’re done. A few pieces of information before we start. To get something, click and drag it onto the screen. To rotate it, click on one of the red circles when it’s not attached. To delete or adjust it, click on the object while it’s in use. To separate a junction, click on the junction and then click on the scissor icon.Make sure ‘Values’ is checked. Just below the voltmeter and ammeter, you have a choice between icons (the battery picture) or circuit symbols (the battery symbol). You may use either of these, whichever you like better.When using the voltmeter, keep in mind that the positive or negative values depend on the order of the red and black things. Test this out by creating a simple circuit and switching the red and black to see how it changes from positive to negative or negative to positive. All recorded voltages should be positive.You may choose to show the current or not and you may leave it as electrons or use conventional. Remember that if you don’t show current, you won’t be able to see if the circuit is working.When you’ve made each of the 3-resistor circuits, it may save time to leave these set up because they will be used again. Building CircuitsUse the simulation to build each of the following circuits below with a battery at 9 volts and 1, 2, or 3 resistors. Drag over the voltmeter and ammeter to measure voltage of the battery and current into it. Then measure the voltage and current through each resistor individually. Complete the data table as shown. If the ammeter reads zero, check if the current is flowing through the circuit.Series circuits (1, 2, 3 and 4 resistors of equal resistance). # of resistorsResistance of each resistor (Ω)Total resistance (Ω)Voltage across each resistor (V)Total current (A)Current through each resistor (A)1101090.90.9210 310 410402.250.220.22 Parallel circuits (1, 2, 3 and 4 resistors of equal resistance) # of resistorsResistance of each resistor (Ω)Total resistance (Ω)Voltage through each resistor (V)Total current (A)Current through each resistor (A)110 210 310 4102.593.60.9 Series circuit with 3 resistors of unequal resistances R1R2R3TotalResistance (Ω)51015 Current (A)0.310.30.310.31Voltage (V) 9 Series circuit with 3 resistors of unequal resistances4 R1R2R3TotalResistance (Ω)102030 Current (A)0.310.30.310.31Voltage (V) Parallel circuit with 3 resistors of unequal resistances5 R1R2R3TotalResistance (Ω)102030 Current (A) Voltage (V) Parallel circuit with 3 resistors of unequal resistances6 R1R2R3TotalResistance (Ω)510152.72Current (A)1.80.90.63.3Voltage (V)9999 Biology Science Physiology PE 17 947 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
