Falstad Circuit Simulator: Blank Circuit

Create A, B, C & D in Falstad to complete the sections below.

Voltage Drops

1. In circuit A, what is the voltage drop across the 220R?
2. Between B & C, which circuit draws more current?
3. What is the voltage drop across the 10k?
4. Why are the voltage drops across 220R resistors higher in B than A?

Series & Parallel

1. Between B & D, which circuit draws more current?
2. What is the total resistance of B? (hover the cursor over +5V for the R value)
3. How does the resistance of B compare to A?
4. Why is the total resistance of D 1/3 the value of A?
