V = IR -> R = V/I
R = 9.00V/0.90A
R = 10.0 ohms

Conclusion

In this lab experiment, we learned how to measure the voltage, resistance and
current through the circuit by use of battery, lightbulb, voltmeter and ammeter
Furthermore, we were able to familiarize ourselves with the multimeter and its functions.
It is clearly shown how the setup is made as easy as possible.

Experiment B was done by the use of a voltmeter and bulb. The red and black
probes are connected to the two connectors in a lightbulb and the resistance was
recorded. The relationship between brightness and resistance of bulbs connected in a
series is directly proportional. On the other hand, the relationship between brightness and
resistance of bulbs connected in parallel is inversely proportional. This means that the
bulb with the higher resistance in a connected series will shine brighter, while the bulb
with the lower resistance connected in parallel will shine brighter

Experiment C was done by the use of a voltmeter and battery. The red probe is
connected to the positive side of the battery while the black probe is connected to the
negative side of the battery. The voltage was recorded. Experiment D was done by the
use of ammeter, battery and a lightbulb. The red probe connects the positive side of the
battery and the ammeter, while the black probe connects one side of the buld to the
ammeter and a wire is used to connect the negative side of the battery to the lightbulb.
The reading on the ammeter is the amount of current in the circuit.

Lastly, the resistance is measured by measuring the voltage and current in a

circuit. The percentage difference of the measured and computed resistance of the circuit
was determined. Through this experiment, we are able to understand the setup and
measure resistance by getting the voltage and current. The virtual lab also shows how the
electrons move in a circuit. The electric current flows from positive to negative inside the
battery and continues to exit the negative pole of the battery to supply electricity to the
light bulb which glows, the current gets out of the light bulb and comes back to the
positive pole of the battery.
