1. What are the laws of resistors? Of parallel resistors? Are these laws verified in your
experiment?
The laws of series resistors are: The current throughout the circuit have the same
circuit. The sum of resistors is equal to the combined resistance. The voltage drops
summation amongst across separate loads is equivalent to the voltage supply.
Also, there are laws in parallel resistors. These are: The current of the circuit is
the resistors sum of the current. The voltage in each resistor is the voltage in the parallel
combination. The reciprocal of the total resistance is equivalent to the reciprocals of the
individual resistances summation.
The laws stated enumerated above is verified during the experiment.
2. You have 4 identical resistors, each with a resistance of 5 ohms. Show all possible
values of resistance that you can get using all four resistors.
The parallel combination is 10 resistors and the resulting net resistance is 5
given that the 2 is in a series and another 2 is also in a series then have the two string in a
parallel. If the series involved 3 then the fourth in parallel is 3.75 . If two are in a
parallel (2.5 ) and in a series (10 ) in a string results to 2 . If the three (parallel) and
fourth (series), the combination is 6.67 .
20 is the total resistance in a series and 1.25 in a parallel circuitry.
3. As more doors are opened in a crowded room, the resistance to motion of people
trying to leave the room is reduced. How is this similar to what happens when more
branches are added to a parallel circuit?
Adding more resistor will make different ways in the current flow. The added
ways made will lead to the decrease in resistance making the rate current flow increase.
4. Are household circuits normally wired in series or in parallel? Why?
The norm in many households is parallel circuitry. Parallel circuitry allows the
current to flow even if one in a system is unplugged and the item will still work. On the other
hand, if you remove one device hooked in a series the power to all of them will be remove.
Second, the devices in parallel will get the same voltage.
