Testing Circuit Laws

Use PhET to create these circuits. Use 9V supply

State the current circuit law (Kirchhoff’s law for current):

Consider the circuit below

Choose two resistors of the different size (between 10 and 100 ohms in multiples of 10) use your three Ammeters around the circuit to determine the current at the positions shown.

Show if the current law holds true.

State the voltage circuit law (Kirchhoff’s law for voltage):

Consider the circuit below:

Choose two resistors of the different size and use three voltmeters around the circuit to determine the voltage at the positions shown.

Show if the voltage law holds true.

1. What would happen to the current values if one the resistors size were was made larger? Explain

2. What might happen to the voltage values if one the resistors size were made larger? Explain
