INTRODUCTION:
This report aims to know how the students can create a parallel
circuit connection and how students can perform different
operation on how they resolve problems regarding on measuring
resistance, current and voltage.

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP:

MATERIALS:
Analog and Digital Multi tester
Long nose
Plier
Cutter

9 V Battery
Plywood
Alligator clip
Stranded wire (16mm)

EXPERIMENTALPROCEDURE:
1. Cut the wire into 4-6 parts.
2. Remove half a cm of insulation from both sides of the wires.
3. Attach a wire in an alligator clip then to the positive side of the dry cell and wound
the other end to the left side of a socket with light bulb.
4. Attach another wire again with an alligator clip then to the negative side of the dry
cell.
5. Get another wire and connect to the right side of the light bulb.
6. Add one more bulb to the setup by wounding another wire to the left side of the
first light bulb and connecting the other end to the left side of the second light
bulb.
7. Wound another wire to the right side of the first light bulb and connect it to the
right side of the second light bulb.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

In a parallel circuit, when you added one more light bulb to the circuit, it
did not affect the brightness of the first light bulb. The connection was not
broken even when you removed one of the light bulbs in the circuit. The
circuit did not break because a parallel circuit has more than one pathway
for the electricity. This way, it is better than series circuit since the devices
can be switched on and off separately without breaking any circuits.
CONCLUSION:
We conclude that the students were able to make a parallel circuit obtaining
what a parallel circuit is. The problems that may occur in measuring the

voltage, current, etc is that it is not always exact. The multi tester may also
have defects that may affect the actual measurements.
