Can you help me connect the circuit as shown in Figure 2, with components: Vs, S, mA, R1, R2, R3, V1, V2?

To connect this series-parallel circuit:

This is a critical safety step. The supervisor will ensure all components are correctly wired, preventing damage to equipment or injury, and confirming the circuit is ready for operation.

Table 2 is where you will record the measured values of current ($I$) and voltages ($V_1$ and $V_2$) for different settings of the power supply voltage ($V_s$).

Before closing the switch, the power supply is set to 0 V to ensure no current flows initially, providing a safe starting point for the experiment.

Closing the switch completes the circuit, allowing current to flow and enabling measurements.

For each set $V_s$ value, you would read the current from the milliammeter and the voltages from voltmeters $V_1$ and $V_2$, then record these values in the appropriate columns in Table 2. (Actual readings cannot be provided without performing the experiment).

Opening the switch breaks the circuit, stopping current flow. This is done between readings to prevent components from overheating and to prepare for the next measurement.

Repeat steps 2 (e) to 2 (g) for other values of $V_s$ shown in Table 2.

You will systematically increase the power supply voltage ($V_s$) to 3.0 V, 6.0 V, 9.0 V, 12.0 V, and 15.0 V. For each $V_s$ value, you will close the switch, record $I$, $V_1$, and $V_2$, and then open the switch.

To plot the graph:

• Draw a horizontal axis for current $I$ (in Amperes, A) and a vertical axis for voltage $V_s$ (in Volts, V). Remember to convert current from milliamperes (mA) to amperes (A) by dividing by 1000.
• Choose suitable scales for both axes to accommodate all your data points.
• Plot each pair of $(I, V_s)$ values from your completed Table 2.
• Draw a straight line of best fit that passes as close as possible to most of the plotted points, ideally through the origin $(0,0)$.

j) Determine the slope, $K$, of the graph.
