I am having difficulty with C5, how can I predict the Re andexplain the resistance in the circuit in terms of itscomponents?
And in C4, what would make a circuit obey vs. not obey Ohm'sLaw?

C. Simulations of More Complex Circuits C1. Open the circuit simulator found at https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit- construction-kit-dc. Make sure to click on the "lab" version. C2. Notice you can construct your pencil experiment again here in the simulation! It's in the box on the lefthand side. C3. Try building a complex circuit, made out of whatever objects you like (as long as a current flows through it somehwere). Draw a circuit diagram of your circuit on your whiteboard, symbolically representing the various components as resistors, batteries, wires, etc. On your of the circuit which have the same voltage, for example like this: drawing, color code portions R3 www ε 4 Lw www R5 R₂ ww R₁ www RA R6 Now, circle the two locations on your circuit where the power supply is applied. Draw a larger, dotted/dashed, circle around all of the circuit elements which are between these two points. In the diagram above, for example, that would mean everything except the battery. C4. Think about the current running into/out of the dashed part of the figure, and the voltage applied across it. Treat the part inside of the dotted lines as a "black box". Does your circuit obey Ohm's law in the sense that:
V I = constant = R₂ Where "e" means "effective" or "equivalent", i.e. the resistance of the collection of things inside the dotted lines. C5. Now recall that your circuit is indeed made up of smaller parts. Given a circuit composed of many smaller resistors, how can you predict its effective resistance? Can you explain the resistance of your circuit in terms of its components?
