Circuit Simulation Lab Go to the following website: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dcvirtual-lab click run and complete the experiment as described below. Experime... nt 1 1. Grab components from the right side of the screen and drag them to the work space. Build this circuit. You will have to click the check box next to ammeter to use it. 2. Now check the box for Voltmeter. Attach one the Voltmeter’s wires to each side of the light bulb. 3. Record the voltage across the light bulb and the current through it in the table below. Then “right-click” the light bulb to remove it. 4. Click on the “Grab Bag” and add a penny to your circuit. Record its voltage & current. 5. Next, measure and record the voltage & current of a pencil 6. Use Ohm’s Law ( V = I R ) to calculate the resistance of each item. Table 1 Item Voltage (V) Current (A) Resistance (Ω) light bulb 9 V .9 A 10 Ohms penny 0 V .9 A 0 Ohms pencil 8.71 V .03 A 290.3 Ohms [Show More]
