1.1 Construct and measure the current and voltage for a given resistor both for series and parallel
connection. (C3, K).
1.2 Respond accordingly on measured and theoretical value. (P3, PS).
1.3 Demonstrate positive and active participation in a team group. (A2, LLL & IM).
2. INTRODUCTION / THEORY
Series circuits are sometimes called current-coupled or daisy chain-coupled. The current in a
series circuit goes through every component in the circuit. Therefore, all of the components in
a series connection carry the same current. There is only one path in a series circuit in which
the current can flow.
The total resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of their individual resistances:
If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same potential difference
(voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across the components are the same in
magnitude, and they also have identical polarities. The same voltage is applicable to all circuit

components connected in parallel. The total current is the sum of the currents through the
individual components, in accordance with Kirchhoff’s current law.
To find the total resistance of all components, add the reciprocals of the resistances of
each component and take the reciprocal of the sum.

4. PROCEDURES
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
i. Wire always from the load toward the source, not vice-versa.
ii. While ammeters must be hardwired into the circuit, it is usually better to add voltmeters
last, on top of the existing functional circuit so to speak. (This makes it easy to change a
voltmeter connection or to remove it temporarily for a resistance check or some other use.)
iii. Make sure that an ammeter is always placed in series with a circuit element through which
you want to measure the current.
iv. Also, make sure that a voltmeter is always placed in parallel with the terminals across which
you want to measure the voltage.
v. When the instructor has approved your connections, connect the source with an initial
output voltage of 0 volts. Slowly, increase the output voltage of the power supply from 0V
to required value.
vi. In order to measure the value for current, initially made sure to put at large range and reduce
it to the lower range to avoid the fuse from blow.
