Mastery Check 6-6C

Categorize each of the statements as to whether it belongs to an ammeter a voltmeter or neither. If it applies to both, then put it in both categories.

A student is designing a circuit to measure both the current through a lightbulb and the voltage across a lightbulb. Here is the diagram the student came up with. What is wrong with the diagram? Choose all that apply.

For this circuit, you will need the following materials:

• 1 D battery in a case

• 1 lightbulb in a holder

• 1 ammeter

• 1 voltmeter

• wires

• alligator clips

Build the described circuit and when it is done, demonstrate it to your teacher, and they will check it off in Formative.

Build a circuit with a battery and a lightbulb. Insert an ammeter to measure the value of the current through the lightbulb and a voltmeter to measure the value of the voltage across the lightbulb.

Write down the measured values of the voltage and current in your circuit.
