Question

Next, you will need to measure the current flowing in the circuit that consists of your battery and a single small lightbulb. Before you make your connections, be sure what you are doing. Is the meter in series with the circuit and turned on? Is it set to measure current? Is the red wire in the correct hole? Only when you are sure, connect the battery and measure the current, being sure to note if there if there is a mA in the display. Draw a sketch showing how you connected your meter and record the current you measured below (show your power calculation below as well). Also calculate the resistance of the lightbulb when it has this current flowing through it (show work). Draw a Sketch. Show your power calculation. Current in the circuit: amps Power (lightbulb) W R (bulb) ohm Battary Voltage = 1.59 v

Explanation / Answer

As shown

battery voltge=1.59

R=18.89 ohm

current=V/R=84.2 mA

power=I^2*R=0.134 W

for current measurement metre is connected in series with resistor
