can you interpret this data by providing 3-5 sentences of anaysis, this is for lab about conservation of energy and charge in circuits

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY & CHARGE IN CIRCUITS-KIRCHHOFF'S RULES In Session #4, a series and parallel circuit with two resistors was analyzed. In this session #5, we examine the conservation of energy and charge in a more complicated circuit, meaning one that cannot be reduced to a single equivalent resistance attached to a power supply. a) The amount of electric charge in a closed circuit is conserved- constant-as current moves through the wires. If the current divides up, as it does at junctions containing circuit elements in parallel, the sum of the partial currents through each branch equals the original current. For example, for three elements in parallel, the total current branches this way: l-(11 +12 +13)-0. This last algebraic manipulation 1=11 +12 +13 makes the formal point that no charge has been gained or lost when the current branches into different parts of the circuit. or OR, said another way: The algebraic sum of the currents at a branch (Kirchoff's current law) point equals zero. b) The available energy is conserved in any closed circuit loop. As a current traverses a circuit loop, the sum of all the potential energy changes caused by any devices in the circuit equals the total electric potential energy originally available. The last algebraic manipulation makes the formal point that no energy has been gained or lost as one takes a loop-path through a circuit. OR, said another way: Around any closed loop in a circuit, the algebraic sum of all potential changes must equal zero. (Kirchoff's voltage law)

Explanation / Answer

From the data it can easily interpreted that

1. Current flowing in the circuit is dierctly propertional to voltage applied.

2. Current = Voltage Applied / Resistance of the circuit.

3. Net charge in the circuit remains conserved.

4. Total energy in the circuit remains conserved.
