Exercise from the chapter "Resistor networks"

Current in three resistors

Level 2 of 5 · Skills: Analyse

Statement

220 Ω, 100 Ω and 120 Ω in series at 5 V. Current in R2?

Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.

2 hints from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

Same current everywhere in series: I = 5 / 440 = 11.4 mA.

How does it work?

The perfboard: each big hole is a circuit node. You push a single leg of a component (resistor, lamp...) into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: that is where chips and leads plug in.

  1. Drag a component onto the board: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. To join neighbouring big holes, click Jumper chip in the palette (or C) then drag on the board: a line of chips is laid at once. Bridged holes become a single node.
  3. For long links and for the power supply (placed next to the board), drag a lead from one big hole to another (or to a terminal).
  4. As soon as a loop is closed, the circuit is solved in real time (Ohm + Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
  5. Zoom with the wheel (or + / −, two-finger pinch); drag the background to pan, 0 fits the board. The + buttons around the board add a row or a column.
