Electronic – the breadboard simulation doesn’t work properly

breadboard

I'm trying to simulate the below circuit on a breadboard but it seems I'm missing something because the numbers don't seem to be correct. Here is the circuit I am trying to build:

Here is my breadboard layout:

I'm new to breadboards and don't know what I have done wrong.

The breadboard layout does not match the schematic. You have the 2k2 and 5k6 resistors in parallel with each other on the breadboard, which they are not in the schematic.

Your breadboard is set up like this:

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab

Note that an ammeter will essentially be a short circuit, hence the zero voltage and maximum current.

Also, note that in your ammeter, the leads are back to front, which is why you are getting a negative value.
