a) I1 = ?

IT = I1 + I2

 

 

10.0 A =   I1 + 4.0 A

 

I1 = 6.0 A

 

 

 

 

 

b) VT = ?

 

VT = V1 = V2

 

V2 = IR

 

= 4.0 A (30. ohms)

 

V2 = 120 V

 

So,

 

VT = 120 V

Ammeter - Measures Current

 

 

 

 

Voltmeter - Measures Voltage
(Potential Difference)

(= Energy Change/Coulomb)

 

Voltmeters
are connected 'in parallel'

 

 

Ammeters
 are connected 'in series'
