A. PREPARATORY ACTIVITIES
Good morning class! Good morning Sir!

How are you today? We’re fine Sir!

 Prayer
Okay may I request everyone to please stand for God in heaven hear my
our prayer? Jaypaul please lead the prayer. prayer. Keep me in thy
loving care. Be my guide in
Thank you Jaypaul. And class before we proceed all I do. Bless all who love
may I check your attendance first. me too. Amen

 Checking attendance
Say present when your name is called
Agan? Present sir
Angot? Present sir

 Review
Yes, Teacher!
Okay so last meeting we discussed about series
circuit and its important values
 Ms. Cellero? What is series circuit? Series circuit sir the loads
are connected end to end
along the path of current in
a single closed loop.
Very Good! Ms. Cellero

When we talk of series circuit what is the status The parts of a circuit are the
of current? or what is the rule of current in a series source, load, switch and
circuit? path

Mr. Perez? In series circuit sir the

current is constant which
means that the value of the
rest resistors are equal to
the value of total current.
Impressive Mr. Perez!

 Motivation
The teacher shows a picture of a parallel circuit
via Power point presentation

From the picture I have presented who can tell

what is our topic today?

Mr. Eguac? For me sir it talks about

circuit and every loads are
independent from each
other.

Very good Mr. Eguac! Based on the picture every

load is independedt to each other.

 Presentation
Alright class, for today’s discussion we are gonna
talk about parallel circuit.

Now, who can read me the definition of parallel

circuit?
The current flowing in each
Ms. Paculba?
branch is independent from
each other that when one
branch or load opens, the
other loads will still function.
Very good Ms. Paculba

B. LESSON PROPER
 Discussion

When we say parallel circuit class each load is

independent meaning when one load gets burn
the other load will not be affected because it has
an own connection, it does not rely on the others. Yes sir
Alright?

Alright class, let’s now go to the principles or

important rules that govern parallel circuit. Rule 1. The resistance in
parallel circuit is the
Ms. Balucan please read the rule 1 reciprocal of the sum of the
reciprocals of all the
branches. The total
resistance is always lower
than the
lowest value in the circuit
once the resistance
decreases.

Alright, thank you Ms. Balucan

According to the rule 1 in order for us to find the

total resistance we must use this formula
1 \ RT = 1 \ R1 + 1 \ R2 + 1 \ R3
But class, if there are only two resistors you can
use this formula RT = R1 x R2 \ R1 + R2 Yes sir
Understand class?
Rule 2. The voltage in
Let’s go to the rule 2. Mr. Lumantas kindly read parallel circuit is always
the rule 2 equal to the voltage drop in
Okay class, rule 2 states that the voltage in each load
parallel circuit is constant meaning the total
voltage is equal to the other voltage drop.
Yes sir
Hence : VT= V1 = V2 = V3 = VN
Understood?

The current in parallel

Okay rule 3 who wants to read circuit is distributed in every
Mr. Balowa? branch. The total
current is the sum of the
currents of each branch.
Thank you Mr. Balowa!

The current here in parallel circuit class is

distributed in every branch. The formula in finding
the total current in parallel circuit is IT= I1 + I2 +
I3 Yes sir

Am I clear class?
Okay let’s have an example
(The teacher shows a picture of parallel ciruit)
Given:
Vt= 10v
R1=20 ohms
R2= 40 0hms
R3= 80 ohms
The formula of Rt sir is
Okay, class the first thing we need to do is to find 1= 1+ 1+ 1
the total resistance. Mr. Tumala can you give me RT R1 R2 R3
the formula of Rt?
Very good Mr. Tumala
So, let’s execute
_1_ = _1_ + _1_ + _1_
RT 20 40 80

The first thing we need to do class is to find their

Yes sir
Greatest Common Factor. So from the formula
their GCF is 80 we only need divide 80 by each
resistors value and we multiply it by 1 or the
numerator. Understood? Yes sir
1 = 4+2+1
RT 80

Did you get it class?

From their we need to reciprocate both sides

So, our formula now is looks like this

RT = ___80__
 1 7

So, Rt is equal to 11.43 The voltage here sir is

Gets class? constant it means that Vt =
V1 = V2 = V3
In the parallel circuit class what is the status of
voltage? Mr. Vosotros?

Okay very good Mr. Vosotros

Since, we have now the value of our voltages it IT= VT\RT sir
means that we can now find the IT, I1 , I2, and
I3. Alright?

What is the formula of the IT?

The answer sir is 0.87
Very good class!

Okay IT= 10v \ 11.43

You calculate class.
Alright our IT= 0.87 0.5 sir
0.25 sir
Next thing is to find the 3 currents 0.125 sir
I1 = V1 \ R1
I1 = 10v \ 20 what is the answer?
I2 = 10v \ 40 what’s the answer?
I3= 10v \ 80 what’s the answer?

Okay very good class!

Yes sir
Let’s check our IT class if our process is correct
It = I1+ I2 + I3
IT = .5 + .25 + .125 = 0.87 that means class
that our process is correct
Alright?

The current flowing in each

branch is independent from
each other that when one
 Generalization branch or load opens, the
other loads will still function.
What is parallel circuit again Ms. Eslit?

The constant here sir is the

 Alright very good Ms. Eslit voltage

Now here in parallel what is the constant the

voltage or the current?
Mr. Lacaba? The formula sir is IT= VT \
RT
Very good!

In getting the total current class what is the No sir

formula? Mr. Tumanda?

Very Mr. Tumanda!

Dou have questions? Or Clarifications?

If none then let’s proceed to our activity.

 Application

The teacher presents a picture of parallel circuit

Given:
VT = 30v
R1= 2
R2 = 6
R3= 8

Find the value of the following

I1=
I2=
I3=
IT=

I will give you 5 minutes to solve the problem.
