Question

4 A student builds the following circuit in a lab experiment, which she records and takes home to analyze.   

She uses a voltmeter, that measures in volts, and an ammeter that measures in amps.   
Both were correctly placed in her circuit.   In her notes she wrote
x = 0.15     z = 0.3    but did not indicate volts or amps, or which meter was which.
The resistor on the left is 5 ohms, and so is the one on the right.   

(A)    Which was the ammeter? explain.
(B)    What is the voltage difference across each   resistor?   Explain.
(C)    What is the voltage of the battery? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

A) x is ammeter

because ammeter must be connect to series to find the curent

B) 0.3V

voltmeter shows that voltage different between resistor.

two resisitot are have same resistance. reading shows the voltage different

C) 0.6V

voltage of bettery is equally droped with two resistor
