A Two-Resistor Circuit

 


Increase/decrease the magnitude of the EMF and the resistors by clicking on the upper/lower part of the object.
The values of the resistors range from 1 to 10 ohms; the value of the EMF ranges from -10 to +10 volts.
Erase or replace the resistors by selecting the "Eraser" or the wire from the menu.


The current flowing through the circuit is defned as: I = ε/R.
The total resistance is determined as the sum of the resistors in series, thus R = R1 + R2.
