Using batteries, bulbs, and an ammeter in a series circuit, the current was measured and found to be _. Voltages across individual bulbs were measured to be _ V and _ V. Bulb resistances were calculated using Ohm's Law. The total resistance of both bulbs was _ ohms. Using the measured current and total resistance in Ohm's Law, the predicted total voltage was calculated to be _. The actual total voltage measured across the batteries was _.

1. Using batteries and bulbs (as resistors) set up the following circuit:
2. Properly place an ammeter into the circuit and measure the current
in amps (A):
Current =
3. Draw the circuit using symbols to show how you connected the
ammeter:
Disconnect the ammeter and re-set up the circuit.
4. Measure the voltage across each bulb:
V1 = V V2 = V
5. Using the equation V
R
I
 calculate the resistance of each bulb.
6. What is the total resistance of the two bulbs together?
Rtotal =
7. Using your measured values for current (I) and total resistance (R)
confirm Ohm’s Law: V=IR and predict what the total voltage is.
VT =
8. Measure the actual total voltage across the all the batteries?
Voltage =
The measure voltage will likely be different because your measured
values of current and resistance contain error.
