Question
Hello,
I need help to answer the 4 questions in the discussion at the last page please.
Experiment 4: Resistances in Circuits EQUIPMENT NEEDED: - AC/DC Electronics Lab Board: Resistors - Multimeter Purpose The purpose of this lab is to begin experimenting with the variables that contribute to the opera- tion of an electrical circuit. This is the first of a three connected labs. Procedure we will Choose three resistors of the same value. Enter those sets of colors in Table 4.1 below refer to one as #1, another as #2 and the third as #3 Determine the coded value of your resistors. Enter the value in the column labeled "Coded Resistance" in Table 4.1. Enter the Tolerance value as indicated by the color of the fourth band under Tolerance." Use the Multimeter to measure the resistance of each of your three resistors. Enter these values in Table 4.1. the percentage experimental error of each resistance value and enter it in the ap propri- Determine ate column. Experimental Error = [(Measured-Coded) / Coded] x 100%. omach ervor is actully there How much eror is Table 4.1 Coded | Measu red | % | Tolerance Colors 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Resistance Resistance Error #1 (Red Red tello. S X Now connect the three resistors into the SERIES CIRCUIT, figure 4.1, using the spring clips on the Circuits Experiment Board to hold the leads of the resistors together without bending them. Measure the resistances of the combinations as indicated on the diagram by connecting the leads of the Multimeter between the points at the ends of theamows.
Explanation / Answer
Current passing through the resistance connected in series is equal for all resistors .
While in parallel combination potential difference across all resistors will be same .
These are the apparent rules for adding resistors in parallel and in series
