For this learning task, will use https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html simulate some parallel circuits, as well as analyze parallel circuits using Kirchhoff's Current Law and Ohm's Law. Use the GRASP method to communicate your calculations and be sure to state your final answers using the correct number of significant digits.

Complete the following tasks:

1. Create the following circuit using the simulator. Use an ammeter to measure and record the current flow through the battery and each light bulb. Use a voltmeter to measure and record voltage across the battery and each light bulb.

1. Complete calculation to verify KCL for 1 node in the circuit.
2. Predict the current flow through the battery if a 3rdlight bulb were added to the circuit. Explain your prediction using KCL.
3. Add a 3rdlight bulb to the circuit. Measure and record the current flow through the battery. Did your prediction match the result?
4. Create schematic diagram of a circuit that has a battery supplying 23 V to three resistors (,and) connected in parallel.
5. Complete analysis, using KCL and Ohm's Law, to predict allVandIin the circuit.
6. Create the circuit from the schematic diagram you created in question 5. Measure and record allVandIand compare to your calculated values.
7. Complete calculation to determine the equivalent parallel resistance that could replace the resistors in the schematic diagram you created in question 5.
