To calculate the current for each trial, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that:

\[ \text{Current (I)} = \frac{\text{Voltage (V)}}{\text{Resistance (R)}} \]

Now, we will calculate the current for each trial based on the provided values.

Trial 1:

  • Voltage (V): 1.5 V
  • Resistance (R): 200 Ω

\[ I = \frac{1.5 V}{200 Ω} = 0.0075 A , \text{or} , 7.5 mA \]

Trial 2:

  • Voltage (V): 1.5 V
  • Resistance (R): 100 Ω

\[ I = \frac{1.5 V}{100 Ω} = 0.015 A , \text{or} , 15 mA \]

Trial 3:

  • Voltage (V): 3.0 V
  • Resistance (R): 200 Ω

\[ I = \frac{3.0 V}{200 Ω} = 0.015 A , \text{or} , 15 mA \]

Trial 4:

  • Voltage (V): 3.0 V
  • Resistance (R): 100 Ω

\[ I = \frac{3.0 V}{100 Ω} = 0.030 A , \text{or} , 30 mA \]

Now summarizing the currents for each trial:

  • Trial 1: 0.0075 A or 7.5 mA
  • Trial 2: 0.015 A or 15 mA
  • Trial 3: 0.015 A or 15 mA
  • Trial 4: 0.030 A or 30 mA

Written Response:

  • Trial 1: Current = 0.0075 A (7.5 mA)
  • Trial 2: Current = 0.015 A (15 mA)
  • Trial 3: Current = 0.015 A (15 mA)
  • Trial 4: Current = 0.030 A (30 mA)

Multiple Choice:

Which trial would the students measure the smallest current in the circuit?

  • Answer: Trial 1 (0.0075 A or 7.5 mA)
