Homework Statement
In last weeks lab, I was asked to find the resistance of two unknown resistors. I hooked them up in series with a 10V source and measured the current across each one. The ammeter read 5.77 mA at Rx and .014 mA at Ry. Shouldn't the ammeter have read the same value at both resistors?
Homework Equations
V = IR
The Attempt at a Solution
Once again, I'm puzzled as to why different current values are flowing through resistors in series with a voltage source. The same current should be flowing through everything, yes?
