Rodriguez-Simulation Assignment 2-1

Ohm’s Law, voltage division, and current division Learning outcomes; Ohm’s Law -1.Measure the voltage across and the current through the R2 resistor via simulation and show the screen results. -2. Calculate by hand the voltage across R2 predicted by the Ohm’s Law using the resistant value and the measured value of the current. Show your full hand calculations. -3. Assume that the simulation produced an experimental result. Then state if the resistor obeys the Ohm’s Law and why. Voltage division 1. Measure the voltage across resistor R4. 2. Calculate by hand the voltage across R4 predicted by the voltage division rule. Show your full hand calculations. 3. Assume that the simulation produced an experimental result. Then state if the voltage division rule is obeyed and why. Current division 1. Measure the currents through R1 and through the branch formed by the pair R3 and R4. 2. Assume that the pair of resistors R3 and R4 are equivalent to a resistor of resistance R5 = 2 . 3. Calculate by hand the current through the branch formed by the pair R3 and R4 predicted by the current division rule. Show your full hand calculations. 4. Assume that the simulation produced experimental results. Then state if the current division rule is obeyed and why.
