TITLE :
Resistance

OBJECTIVE :
Measuring the effectiveness for parallel and series resistors.

APPARATUS :
i.! Voltmeter
ii.! Ammeter
iii.! Voltage supply
iv.! Resistance !" , !# , !$

THEORY :
The arrangement of resistors is important because it will influence the effectiveness
resistance in the circuit. There are two ways of circuit arrangements: in series and
parallel.

a.! Series Circuit

Effective Resistance, !% = !" + !# + !$

b.! Parallel Circuit

A resistor is a two-terminal electrical electronic component that resists an electric
current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in accordance with Ohms
(
law: .
)

[ = resistance of a resistors, * = potential difference or voltage across the resistors, +

= electrical current flowing through the resistor]
