Run the animation.
Create one series, one parallel, and one combined circuit.
For each circuit:
1. Draw and label a circuit diagram.
2. Use the ammeter to measure the current through the circuit.
3. Use the voltmeter to measure the voltage across the resistors.
4. Calculate the resistance at each resistor and for the whole circuit.
(use ohm's law: V = IR)
Electrostatics Lab Conclusion:
Explain how the balloons are in equilibrium and how this allows us to calculate the electrostatic force.
