Ohm’s law is one of the fundamental laws for electrical theory, which
was created by Georg Simon Ohm, a German physicist. The formula states
that a formula that is used to calculate the relationship between voltage,
current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Further, ohm’s law has a wide
variation of usage for calculating all forms of electrical and electronic circuit
or might as well anything that has a current flow, for instance, it is used to
calculate the value of resistors required in a circuits, and it enables to identify
the current flow of a circuit where the voltage can be easily assessed or
calculated across a known resistor, lastly, the variable Ohm (Ω) portrays as
the resistance, and for the battery and voltage it functions as the pump.
Ohm law formula:
OHM’S LAW V=IR
Kirchhoff’s rule, also better known as the Kirchhoff’s voltage law or

rather KCL, the rule states that the overall amount of the current or charge
entering a junction or node is precisely equivalent to a charge that is departing
or leaving, as the node has no prolonged place to advanced it is except to
leave, as no charge is lost within the node. which implies the voltage of the
battery will be utilized by other components in the loop.
Junction rule: Σ ± 𝐼 = 0
Loop rule: Σ ± 𝑉 + Σ ± IR = 0
Series and parallel are circuits that aids the current to connect to the
components. Series circuits supports the current to travel in one flow path
which is fixed in a chain model. Thus, the parallel circuits are circuits that has
two or more paths for the current to travel through. Although, the two circuits
can possibly combine to create a new series which is called a series-parallel
circuit, it contains a series-connected and parallel connected resistors.
In this experiment, the student the student was tasked to use the
interactive simulation on the internet for the topic of circuits, the website:
https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc.
First Circuit:

2 3.67 A 5.50 A 7.33 A
3 5.67 A 8.50 A 11.33 A
After conducting the parallel chain of circuits, the student observed that
after altering the volts or the ohms the values will be summed up to its original
value. For instance, after Changing the voltage from 10v to 15v the value of
amperes changed from 2.00A to 3.00A which implies that there will be an
increase 1.00 A. In essence, after increasing the value of the voltage or ohms
the current will increase or decrease. To further prove:

After conducting the simulation, the student observed the current of the
series circuit is parallel to the given voltage with regard to the constant
resistance. Thus, inputting the values from the formula, the student can
calculate that with 10 volts of battery and 10 ohms of resistance: Sample
calculations for equations of resistors in a series connection:
Battery at 10 volts:
Req = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
I = 0.33
For Ohm’s Law:
V = (0.33) (30) = 10 V
The third circuit is consisted of a series-parallel circuit which it contains a
series-connected and parallel connected resistors.

R2 0.60 A 1.00 A 1.33 A
R3 0.30 A 0.50 A 0.67 A
After conducting the simulation, the student observed that the series-
parallel circuits both resistors 1 & 3 has the same amount of value which is
0.30 A in terms of 9 voltage of battery. Thus, the resistor 2 doubles the amount
of both resistors 1 and 3 since it is considered as a parallel connection while
both resistors 1 & 3 is a series connection circuit.
After conducting the whole simulation, the student observed that in

series connection circuit, series circuit is parallel to the given voltage with
regard to the constant resistance. Thus, resulting in, resistors have same
currents. While, in parallel circuit altering the volts or the ohms the values
will be summed up to its original value, or in simple terms there is a pattern.
Lastly,
