1. Using the following circuit, calculate the current flowing through the resistor for
anR1 value equal to 330 Ω, 1 kΩ, 3.3 kΩ, for different voltage supply (Vs) values, as
shown in Table 1-1. Write the resulting values inTable1-1

2. Use the NI ELVISII to setup the previous circuit as illustrated above. Post a photo of your
circuit in the box below.
