Calculations

Resistance of each component (R = V/I or Voltage/Current)

Living Room (Dimmer and Series Circuit)
Resistance


Bulb 1

5.06/0.18 = 28.11

Bulb 2

4.59/0.18 = 25.5

Rheostat

0.4/0.18 = 2.22

Entrance Room (Series Circuit)
Resistance


Bulb 1

4.96/0.18 = 27.56

Bulb 2

4.59/0.18 = 25.5

Bedroom 1 (Parallel Circuit)
Resistance


Bulb 1

9.61/0.2 = 48.05

Bulb 2

9.61/0.2 = 48.05

Bedroom 2 (Single bulb + Motor)
Resistance


Resistor

7.31/0.6 = 12.18

Resistor 2

7.9/0.2 = 39.5

Motor

0.17/0.6 = 0.28

Bulb

2.5/0.6 = 4.16

Attic (3-way Circuit)
Resistance


Bulb 1

4.81/0.18 = 26.72

Bulb 2

5.19/0.18 = 28.83



Doorbell
Resistance


Doorbell

10/0.005 = 2000




Verify that the sum of each circuit voltages equals the battery voltage.

Total Battery Voltage: Approximately 10 V

Living Room (Dimmer and Series Circuit)
Bulb 1 + Bulb 2 + Rheostat = 5.06 + 4.59 + 0.4 = 10.05 V

Entrance Room (Series Circuit)
Bulb 1 + Bulb 2 = 4.96 + 4.59 = 9.55 V

Bedroom 1 (Parallel Circuit)
Bulb 1 = 9.61 V
Bulb 2 = 9.61 V

Bedroom 2 (Single bulb + Motor)
Resistor + Motor = 7.9 + 0.17 = 8.07 V
Resistor + Bulb = 7.31 + 2.5 = 9.81 V

Attic (3-way Circuit)
Bulb 1 + Bulb 2 = 4.81 + 5.19 = 10 V

Doorbell
Doorbell = 10 V




Verify that the sum of all currents equals the total current.

Total Current: 1.05 A

Living Room + Entrance Room + Bedroom 1 + Bedroom 2 + Attic + Doorbell = Total
Current

0.18 + 0.18 + 0.2 + 0.6 + 0.18 + 0.005 = 1.345 A
