RESISTORS IN SERIES AND PARALLELL 2
Introduction
Generally, there are two ways of connecting circuits, series and parallel connection. If resistors
are connected so that there is only one conducting path across the network as shown in figure
15.1 they are termed to be in series connection. In case we have more than one conducting path
as shown in figure 15.2 we will have a parallel connection.
In series connection, the current is same in all resistors as shown.
Voltage across the network of series-connected is equal to the sum of voltages across individual
resistors.
Total resistance of series connection is equal to sum of individual resistances.
For parallel connection, total current in the circuit is the sum of currents in each resistor.

Running head: RESISTORS IN SERIES AND PARALLELL Resistors in Series and Parallel Name of Student Name of Professor Course Title Date 1 RESISTORS IN SERIES AND PARALLELL Introduction Generally, there are two ways of connecting circuits, series and parallel connection. If resistors are connected so that there is only one conducting path across the network as shown in figure 15.1 they are termed to be in series connection. In case we have more than one conducting path as shown in figure 15.2 we will have a parallel connection. In series connection, the current is same in all resistors as shown. Voltage across the network of series-connected is equal to the sum of voltages across individual resistors. Total resistance of series connection is equal to sum of individual resistances. For parallel connection, total current in the circuit is the sum of currents in each resistor. 2 RESISTORS IN SERIES AND PARALLELL Voltages in same in all resistors as shown below; Lastly, resistance in parallel connection is expressed as; It is critical to observe that, connection of an additional resistors in series rises or increases total resistance whereas in parallel, we will have a decrease in the total resistance. Apparatus The following tools were used during the experiment 1. Low-voltage power supply (L.V.P.S) 2. Three resistances boxes (+or- resistors) 3. Two multimeters (one as an ammeter and the other as a voltmeter) 4. Assorted wires Procedure 1. LVPS was connected while turne ...
