1.

Create this circuit in the PhET simulator (https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html):

Use light bulbs in your simulation for each of the resistors. Set the voltage and resistance for each component as noted in the picture. Fill out the chart by finding the unknowns using the ammeter and voltmeter in the simulator. Upload a screenshot of your circuit with the ammeter hovering over the wire demonstrating measured current.

2.

What do you think will happen to the current if the resistance is doubled?

3.

Now, adjust your circuit to look like this picture (note that one new bulb has been added):

Again, fill out the chart by taking measurements with the ammeter and voltmeter. Upload a new screenshot of your circuit with the ammeter hovering over the wire demonstrating measured current.

4.

What do you think would happen to the current in any circuit if voltage doubled? (hint: they are directly proportional)
