EGM 180 Take Home Quiz 1 Due at the start of class on Feb 4th For the past two weeks we have been experimenting with basic circuit design. We have measured current, voltage, and resistance. We have also experimentally verified Ohm’s Law, and Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws. During our experimentation, we have blown the fuses of several multimeters when incorrectly measuring current. Write an essay that explains why the fuses in the multimeters blew. Start by reading the beginning of the discussion of a voltmeter’s impact on a circuit followed by a similar discussion of an ammeter’s impact on a circuit. Note that an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance and an ideal ammeter has zero resistance. With that in mind, explain how attempting to measure current by placing an ammeter in parallel with the circuit (as opposed to in series in the circuit) could cause the fuse to blow. Make sure that your explanation is complete and understandable. In addition to an introduction and a conclusion, your essay should include a thesis statement. It should be between one and two pages long. Proofreading and revision are a crucial part of the process for completing this essay.
