Overview
Objective:
Methodology
Questions to be answered in the Report:
- Do your measurements agree, within experimental errors, with Kirchhoff’s rules? Discuss your results.
- For the circuit in which switch S is open, how do your measured values of the currents compare with the calculated values? What might account for any discrepancies?
- If the voltage source had a significant internal resistance, would this affect the results? Explain.
- For each circuit (I and II), what is the total power dissipated in the resistors? Show how you calculated this result.
- For each circuit (I and II), which resistor dissipates the most power? Justify your answer.
