DC Fundamentals Series/Parallel Resistive Circuits Exercise 2: Voltage in a Series/Parallel Circuit EXERCISE OBJECTIVE Ohm’s law. You will verify your results with a multimeter. DISCUSSION In a series/parallel circuit, voltage across each circuit branch is distributed in proportion to the resistive value of each branch. In this circuit, the applied voltage equals the voltage across R1 plus the voltage across the parallel branch (R2 or R3). In this circuit, the voltage across R2 (VR2) equals a. VR3. b. VR1. c. VA. In this circuit, IT R1 = IT x R1 or IR1 x R1. We may use the value of IT for IR1 because the amount of current through any series element of the circuit is identical to the total current of the circuit.

VR3 = Vdc (Recall Value 4) Student Manual FACET by Lab-Volt 185 Series/Parallel Resistive Circuits DC Fundamentals Based on your data recalled below, which statement properly relates the voltage drops of your circuit? a. The voltage drops are not related because of the series/parallel combination. b. The voltage drop of R1 indicates a circuit problem because its value is not equal to that of VR2 or VR3. c. The voltage drops are correct because the sum of the series and parallel combination voltage drops equals VA. VA = Vdc (Step2, Recall Value 1) VR1 = Vdc (Step3, Recall Value 2) VR2 = Vdc (Step4, Recall Value 3) VR3 = Vdc (Step5, Recall Value 4) To calculate the voltage drop of R1, a. multiply either IR2 or IR3 with the value of R1. b. subtract the sum of VR1 and VR2 from VA. c. multiply IT by the value of R1. Place CM switch 12 in the ON position to put R4 in the circuit. What is the relationship of the circuit voltages with resistor R4 added? a. VA = VR1 + VRE + VR4 b. VA = VR1 + VR4 c. VR1 = VR3 and VR2 = VR4 With CM 12 still in the ON position, VR4 equals a. IR4 x R4. b. IT x R4. c. (IR2 + IR3) x R4. With CM 12 still in the ON position, what are the voltage drops of R2 and R3? a. about 15 Vdc b. about 4.45 Vdc c. about 9.7 Vdc Make sure all CMs are cleared (turned off) before proceeding to the next section.
