The objective of this lab was to build eight different circuits and record the results of each circuit built.

1. The theoretical current is 4.02mA.

2. The theoretical current is 2.01mA.
3. The LED is dimmer than the LED in circuit 1. This is due to the decrease in current.
4. The theoretical current is 8.05mA.
5. The LED is brighter than the LED in circuit 1. This is due to the increase in current.
6. The theoretical current is 2.01mA.
7. The LEDS are dimmer because current is divided when in series and the LEDS are in series.
8. The theoretical current is 4.02mA.
9. The LEDS are the same brightness as the ones in circuit 1 because the same amount of current
passes through LEDS in parallel.
10. The theoretical current is 8.05mA.
11. The LEDS are brighter than the LED in circuit 1. This is because the LEDS are in parallel and
each LED receives greater current than the LED in circuit 1. Also, the overall resistance of the
circuit is lower compared to the resistance in circuit 1.
12. The function of the transistor is the regulate the flow of current.
13. The LED is dimmer than the LED in circuit 1. This is due to the decrease in current since total
resistance is less than the total resistance in circuit 1.
14. The function of the QTR sensor is to detect if an object is close to it and change the amount of
current that goes through the circuit.
15. The function of the top resistor is to reduce the current flow going into the base of the transistor.
16. The LED is dimmer than the LED in circuit 1. This is due to the total resistance being greater
than the total resistance in circuit 1. The brightness changes when an object is blocking the QTR
sensor. The closer the object is to the sensor the dimmer the LED gets.
17. This lab taught me the basics of circuits and how current flows in different configurations.

There were no problems finishing the lab.
