1. **Problem Statement:**
Redraw the circuit of Figure 4 to include:
(a) an ammeter to measure the circuit current
(b) a voltmeter to measure the applied voltage
(c) a voltmeter to measure the voltage drop across resistor R3
(d) an ammeter to measure the current through resistor R2
2. **Understanding the Circuit:**
The circuit consists of a voltage source $V_t = 20$ volts and three resistors in series: $R_1 = 470\ \Omega$, $R_2 = 820\ \Omega$, and $R_3 = 1200\ \Omega$.
3. **Key Concepts:**
- An **ammeter** is connected in series to measure current.
- A **voltmeter** is connected in parallel to measure voltage.
4. **Placement of Instruments:**
- (a) To measure the total circuit current, place an ammeter in series with the circuit, for example, between the voltage source and $R_1$.
- (b) To measure the applied voltage $V_t$, place a voltmeter in parallel across the voltage source terminals.
- (c) To measure the voltage drop across $R_3$, place a voltmeter in parallel across $R_3$.
- (d) To measure the current through $R_2$, place an ammeter in series with $R_2$.
5. **Summary:**
- Ammeter for total current: series with entire circuit.
- Voltmeter for $V_t$: parallel across voltage source.
- Voltmeter for $R_3$: parallel across $R_3$.
- Ammeter for $R_2$ current: series with $R_2$.
This completes the redrawing instructions with correct instrument placements.
