EXPERIMENT No. 5
SERIES CIRCUIT
OBJECTIVES
1. To prove that the sum of the individual voltage drop around a series circuit is
equal to the source voltage.
2. To calculate and measure the voltage drops in a series circuit.
3. To calculate and measure the equivalent resistance in a series circuit.

INSTRUMENT AND MATERIALS

• DC Power Supply
• Resistors (100Ω, 330Ω, 220Ω)
• Connecting wires
• Bread board

DISCUSSION
Series circuits can be solved by applying Ohm’s Law and from the knowledge of
the following rules: (a) the voltage across a group of resistances is equal to the sum of
the voltage across each and (b) the current is constant or equal in every resistance of a
series circuit.

PROCEDURE
1. Calculate the required quantities as shown in Figure 5.1. Record the data in the
table.
2. Connect the circuit shown in Figure 5.1. Observe correct polarities. NEVER
MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER SUPPLY ON!
3. Turn on the power supply. Slowly advance the voltage output control until the dc
power supply voltmeter indicates the required voltage. Record your
measurements in the table.
4. Return the voltage to zero and turn off the power supply.

COMPUTATION

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?
If the voltage is doubled, the current also doubles for the same resistance, then
the voltage drops of each resistor will also double in value.

2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of
the applied voltage were reversed?
It will give you a negative value on the current and the voltage drops of the
resistors. This shows that changing polarities affects pretty much nothing in the
circuit. The only thing that is altered is the change the current will flows.
3. Calculate IT, RT and the individual voltage and current in the circuit of Figure 5.2.

(Figure 5.2 on Tinkercad)

(Figure 5.2 on Tinkercad Simulation)

COMPUTATION

OBSERVATIONS
In this experiment, since we are dealing with the series circuit, the voltage applied to
a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops of each resistor.
The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the
size of the resistor. The current across the circuit is equal to the current of each
resistor.

CONCLUSION
We can conclude that the current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional
to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.

Test your knowledge

1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?

- The other voltages will also increase. And since current is proportional to the
voltage, it will also be doubled together with the voltage source.
2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of
the applied voltage were reversed?

- When the polarity of the applied voltage source is reversed, reverse polarity
will occur, making the current go in the wrong direction. This may result in
circuit damage or electric shocks to anyone touching it.

3. Calculate IT, RT, and the individual voltage and current in the circuit of figure 5.2.

Figure 5.2
Observations

- During the experiment, we have observed how a series circuit works, and
how electricity flows through it. The current flowing through each component
is the same, and the sum of the individual voltage drops of the components is
equal to the voltage across the whole circuit. We have also observed how
ohm’s law applies to circuit diagrams.

Conclusion

- The current flow in a series circuit flows in a single path, which makes it the
same throughout the circuit. Compared to a parallel circuit, it is relatively
simpler. One downside to a series circuit that I have realized in the
experiment is that if one component fails, the circuit will not work.

It’ll be at 9V and the values of will increase. The value of the voltage of each resistor
increased and the value of current also increased.

prevent them from overload.

1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?

- It would subsequently double the output voltage in each

component and also in the whole circuit, like shown in the figure
below.

2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of
the applied voltage were reversed?

In our case, it just recorded negative values on each resistor and

still manages to deliver supply in every resistor throughout the
circuit, because resistor has no polarities not like other
components such as diodes and capacitors which has polarities
that can result in voltage breakdown if plug in inverted current.
3. Calculate I r. RT and the individual voltage and current in the circuit of Figure 5.2

Figure 5.2
OBSERVATIONS
We observed that for series circuits, as more resistors are added the overall current
within the circuit decreases. This decrease in current is consistent with the conclusion
that the overall resistance increases

CONCLUSION
We therefore conclude that circuit is said to be connected in series when the same
number of current flows through the resistors. In such circuits, the voltage across each
resistor is different. In a series connection, if any resistor is broken or a fault occurs,
then the entire circuit is turned off.

1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?

It’ll be at 9V and the values of each will increase. The value of the voltage of each
resistor increased and the value of current also increased.
2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of the
applied voltage were reversed?
If the Voltmeter is reversed it’ll give a negative output voltage on each resistor. If the
9V voltage source were reversed it will give the same amount of voltage output on
each resistor because resistors don’t have polarities. Resistor can be put forward or
reverse, it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t have polarity.

Any value of resistor in a series circuit will result in the same amount of current flowing across
the entire circuit.

CONCLUSION:

There are no polarities in resistors. It doesn't matter if it's in reverse or forward; the voltmeter

1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?

It’ll be at 9V and the values of each will increase. The value of the voltage of each
resistor increased and the value of current also increased.
2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of the
applied voltage were reversed?
If the Voltmeter is reversed it’ll give a negative output voltage on each resistor. If the
9V voltage source were reversed it will give the same amount of voltage output on
each resistor because resistors don’t have polarities. Resistor can be put forward or
reverse, it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t have polarity.

1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?

• The voltage and current passing through the component in the circuit are
also double because Voltage and Current are directly proportional to each
other.

2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of
the applied voltage were reversed?

• If the polarity is reversed, they conduct current and there may not be any
current-limiting resistance in the circuit to prevent them from overload.

3. Calculate IT. RT and the individual voltage and current in the circuit of Figure 5.2 .
R1 = 300 Ω

90 V

R 2 = 300 Ω

Figure 5.2

RT = R1 + R2 = 300 Ω + 300 Ω = 600 Ω

IT = VT / RT = 90 V / 600 Ω = 150 mA
IT = I1 = I2 = 150 mA
V1 = I1 R1 = 150 mA (300 Ω) = 45 V
V2 = I2 R2 = 150 mA (300 Ω) = 45 V
VI. OBSERVATION:

• I observed that to determine if the circuit is in series the positive

polarity of the component is connected to the negative polarity of the
other component, the total current in a circuit is equal to the current of
every component, and also the voltage and current are directly
proportional to each other.

VII. CONCLUSION:

• I conclude that the sum of all voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to
the voltage source since the current going through the circuits is all equal,
even if the components have varying amounts of resistance. I also
conclude that measuring and computing the voltage drop and total
resistance of the component is evidence that all component values are
equal.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE
1. If the power supply or voltage source in Procedure 3 were doubled, what would
happen to the other voltages and the circuit current?

The other voltages will be doubled the same with the voltage source and the
current in the circuit

2. What would happen to the other voltages and the circuit current if the polarity of the
applied voltage were reversed?

The voltage will appear in negative and there will be no current flowing in the
circuit.
 3. Calculate I r. RT and the individual voltage and current in the circuit of Figure 5.2.

Figure 5.2

OBSERVATIONS

There are only slight difference between the measured and calculated values of the
load in terms of decimal places.

CONCLUSION
Therefore, we conclude that the current and the voltage drop always rely on the power
source and also rounding off the values makes a difference.
