1. A multimeter is placed in a simple circuit, containing a 9-volt battery and a 130-Ohm resistor. What is current reading seen?

2. If a circuit contains a 9-volt battery and 1-Ohm resistor, what wattage is dissipated by the resistor?

1. Methodology - Using the information in the introduction, complete a simple circuit and sketch it below, labeling each individual component according to its value as verified by the multimeter. (The instructor may want a picture of the circuit and multimeter readings.). 2. Data Collection - For three of the resistors, fill out the table below. Use the color coding as found in the introduction (i.e. BLK, BRN, RED, etc.). Verify this with the multimeter (the instructor may want a picture). 3. Data Analysis - Show the calculations for the power dissipations for the circuit. 4. Conclusion - State the voltage dissipation in the circuit and describe the change in current if the voltage was doubled or the resistance was doubled. 5. Caveats - Report where errors in measurement or calculation can be found in this experiment.
