QUESTION 1
What is the current read by the ammeter in the circuit below? Let R1 = 1 kiloohm, R2 = 2 kiloohm, R3 = 3 kiloohm, and the emf of the ideal source is 5 volts.
Input R1, R2, and R3 for resistors Ri, R2, and R3 respectively. Input E for the emf E. Use context clues to figure out if you need to input a numerical value, variable, word, etc. All
numerical answers should be in three significant figures.
