Theory for this experiment? Conclusion for this experiment? Theory for this experiment? Conclusion for this experiment? Resistors in Series and Parallel II Introduction The purpose of this exercise is to investigate the circuit characteristics of series- parallel combinations of resistors. parallel combinations of resiston. Sketch Construct the following circuit. Measure the potential difference across the power supply and record. I,, v, I,, V 20 0S Analysis Calculate I, and V, I, and V,, and I, and V,. Record in a table like the one shown below. 14

Explanation / Answer

1.Observethe values V2 and V3. They suggest that potential difference across resistances connected in parallel is same, as they were between same two points.

2. The total potential difference i.e., v1+v2 is equal to total emf in the circuit. This as per law of conservation of energy.

3. I2 +I3 =I1, i.e., the susum of currents divided into all branches in the circuit is equal to the current delivered by the battery. This is as per conservation of charge.
