    (Lab 3)
    (Resistor Combination-Series and Parallel)

    ABSTRUCT
    My Goal was to learn how to connect the resistors in parallel
    and series in a circuit on breadboard. Also find the Req in parallel and
    series resistors by DMM and at the end compare it with the
    mathematically calculated values.
    To find and verify that same amount of current passes through
    each element of series circuit and to find if the voltage across the
    parallel circuit elements is same.

    LAB CONCEPT
    In (Series circuit) Current is always same across all the circuit
    elements but only the Voltage will be divided across elements of the
    circuit. Unlikely in (Parallel Circuit) it is the opposite as voltage remains
    same and current gets divided in parallel circuit.

    Parallel Circuit
    Conclusions(What have I learnt)
    I have learnt from this lab that in series circuit (resistors and circuit
    elements) should by arranged in series patteren. As a result I proved
    that current is same in series circuit but voltage is Divided across the
    circuit elements. And for parallel circuit it’s the complete opposite of
    series Cuircuit and by above experiment I proved that Current is
    distributed in Parallel circuit while Voltage remains same.

    Ammeter is connected in Series and voltmeter is connected in


    Parallel in the circuit. 12 V for a very small resistors can be a high
    voltage which will heat up the resistor and an error in the values is
    expected.

    (1)Assume that you have a 100 Ω resistor. You want to add a resistor
    in series with this 100 Ω resistor in order to limit the current to 0.5
    amps when 110 volts is placed across the two resistors in series. How
    much resistance should you use?
    Answer
    R1=100 Ω R2=? V=110V I=0.5Amp
    Solution

    V=IR => Req=V/I => Req=110/0.5 => Req=220Ω

    Req=R1 + R2 => R2=Req – R1

    R2=220 – 100

    R2=120Ω

    (2)Identify the resistance pairs are parallel in the following circuit?

    Answer

    (a)2and2
    (b)3and10

    (3)What’s the Req of the following resistance combination?


    Answer

    Req = 4.8 Ω
