OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this experiment is to find out the
total current flowing through a series circuit and
parallel circuit, to find out the voltage across
each resistor and the current flowing through a
series and parallel circuit, to analyze the
relationship of voltage across each resistor to the
total voltage, and to analyze the relationship of
the current flowing through each resistor to the
total current. The experiment has been
performed for it is considered as a task to attain
the objectives of the experiment likewise to
attain data needed. In the experiment, the
following data were sought: For table 1, which is
the Series circuit, the resistance 1,2, and 3, the
total resistance, the total voltage, the voltage
across resistance 1, 2, and 3, current flowing
through resistance 1, 2, and 3, the total current,
and the percentage difference were asked. For
table 2, which is the parallel circuit, the following
data were also the same as the data mentioned
in table 1. The experiment measured the missing
values to determine the percentage difference of
each table in the experiment like the each value
of resistance, the net resistance, and the total
voltage.

The results from the table 2 of the experiment
came from the data gathered in the experiment
conducted. The following data gathered from the
procedures of the experiment are: Resistance 1,
Resistance 2, Resistance 3, Total Resistance,
Total Voltage, Experimental values of Voltage
across Resistance 1, 2, and 3, Current Flowing
through Resistance 1, 2, and 3, Total Current,
and Percentage Difference.
The values of resistance 1, 2, and 3 were
provided in the experiment, the total resistance
