Objective The objective of this experiment was to Create and test various different circuits systems using the computer program known as Multisim. It was also used for us to get used to making circuits and getting familiar with the material before hand.

Materials Used Multisim software: Multisim is a circuit program designed to test various amounts of different current and voltage simulations by also being calculated by different resistors.

Observation #1

Using the battery 12V series circuit the Amperage of the circuit is 10mA (Multimeter-XMM1) Across the 200 Ohm resistor the voltage is 2000V. Using the formula (Ohm's law) Which is Stated below

Ohms Formula I = V/R Which is V = I x R. Which meaning 10mA x 200 Ohms= 2 000V

The values were obtained by creating a virtual series circuit. In The program known as Multisim. The circuit consisted of a 12V battery, a 1K Ohm Resistor, a 300 Ohm Resistor, and a ground wire and 2 virtual multimeter was used. The first multimeter was attached in series with the circuit in order to obtain the reading for amperage. The second multimeter was attached in the series with the circuit in order to obtain the Voltage of the circuit. I did all of the work on the computer so i didn't do any calculations by the book but by using Ohm's law and doing simple math i was able to find the voltage.

Observation #2

In this Observation there is a 12V battery with a current of 10.909 mA And 3 resistors. R1= 240 Ohms R2= 300 Ohms R3= 560. By using Ohm's law (which stated on page 2) Voltage 3.273 Can be confirmed by using Ohm’s formula.

Conclusion 

The data shown in Observation #1 and Observation #2 shows the process of Ohm's law (V= I/R) Which shows the amperage throughout all of the circuit. The Voltage can be determined by multiplying the Current and the Resistance which is V= l x R. I didn't really have any problems with this experiment as a whole it was very good learning experience for me and my partner. We did mess up a couple of times with connecting the wires together and also with the Multimeters but it was in trial and error we also learnt that you can overlap wires with other wires and that's good to know for other experiments.
