need help answering the 3 questions

THEORY Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) simply states that the current(s) entering a junction (node) equals the current(s) leaving the junction. Remember that a junction is anywhere that the current can 'split. Along a branch, between two junctions, the current must be constant anywhere along the branch, thus it does not matter where in the branch the ammeter is inserted. Since electric current consists of electrons (which are real physical) flowing along the conductor, it should be obvious that they neither multiply nor diminish ; hence KCL should be obvious to the student. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the sum of all the voltage 'drops' around a closed' path sum up to equal zero. This is an obvious consequence of the fact that the potential difference between two points is independent of the path taken. The purpose of this lab is to verify Kirchhoff's laws by making measurements on the circuit shown below The readings of the three ammeters will be recorded to the nearest 0.05 A. The COMMON terminal of a voltmeter (typically the black lead) is connected to point "x", defining the potential at that point to be zero. The voltmeter is to be used to measure the potential at the other marked points, "a", "b", and "c" R2 A2

Explanation / Answer
