@Muse - This circuit demonstrates current regulation and electrical measurement in a basic DC series-parallel circuit: - **#V1 (6 V Battery)** powers the loop referenced to ground #1. - **#SW1 (SPST Switch)** controls the power to the circuit (currently closed). - **#A1 (Ammeter)** is placed in series with the load to measure the total loop current flowing from the battery. - **#R1 (Rheostat)** is wired as a variable resistor using terminals $a$ and $w$ connected to $b$. Adjusting the wiper changes the total loop resistance, controlling the current delivered to the lamp. - **#L1 (Lamp)** serves as the resistive load, glowing with brightness proportional to the electrical power dissipated across it. - **#Vmeter (Voltmeter)** is placed in parallel across #L1 to measure the terminal voltage across the lamp.
