Resistors In Series And Parallel Circuits Lab Answers. You may want to do the calculations for each circuit before coming to lab. Parallel means all the ends of the resistors are connected together at one point and all the other ends of the resistors are connected at another point.
In series circuit current flowing through the circuit is same. A short quiz will follow. Submit this document as your lab report.
Series and parallel circuits part i.
V tot v 1 v 2 8. The equivalent resistances for parallel circuits are recorded in tables. The current flow is expected to be uniform throughout the series circuits but will be stronger through the smaller resistor in the parallel circuits. When resistors are in parallel the current flowing from the battery will come to a junction where it has a choice as to which branch to take.
