PARALLEL CONNECTION OF

RESISTORS MEASUREMENT
BY: ANUGERAH ILAHI
INTRODUCTION

Resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of

electrical current in an electronic circuit.
The aim of this experiment was to measure the current (I) and voltage (U)
in a circuit and a number of circuit variations.
This measurement report presents the results and analysis of a practical
experiment conducted to measure the equivalent resistance of a
combination of parallel resistors.
MATERIALS
To perform this practice, the following materials are:
1. Resistor 10kΩ
2. Resistor 100kΩ
3. Multimeter
4. D.C power supply unit
5. Bridging plugs
6. Protoboard.
 METHODS
1. Set up the circuit by connecting the resistors in parallel on the protoboard
2. Ensure that all connections are secure and free from any loose connections
3. Connect the power supply to the circuit
4. Measure the voltage across the power supply using the digital multimeter
5. Measure the current passing through the circuit using the digital multimeter
6. Repeat the measurements for different combinations of resistors in parallel
7. Calculate the equivalent resistance for each combination using Ohm's law
RESULT
Circuit with U/v I/mA R/kΩ
R1 10v 1mA 10kΩ
R2 10v 0,1mA 100kΩ
RG 10v 1,1mA 9,1kΩ
Total resistance (RG) of the parallel resistors can be calculate using the
formula for equivalent resistance of parallel circuits:
1/RG = (10kΩ + 100kΩ) / (10kΩ x 100kΩ)
1/RG = 110/1000kΩ
RG = 9,1kΩ
DISCUSSION

The measure data indicates that in parallel resistor circuit,

the current through the resistor is different while the
voltage is the same
CONCLUTION

The equivalent resistance (RG) of the parallel connection of resistors was

measured to be 9,1 kiloohms. This is less than the resistance of any individual
resistor in the circuit, which confirms the behavior of parallel circuits. The
experiment was successful in achieving its objective of measuring the voltage,
current, and RG of a parallel connection of resistors.
