Analyzing Series Circuits Name: ____________________ Learning Target: Determine the voltage, current, and resistance in series circuits. Draw a Series Circuit that includes a 10 V battery, R1 = 8 Ω, R2 = 8 Ω and R3= 4 Ω. Definition of a series circuit: Directions: 1. Setup a circuit similar to circuit schematic below. 2. For each scenario measure the voltage over each resistor using a voltmeter. 3. Measure the current at the end of the circuit, by inserting an ammeter. 4. Record the resistance in the table. 5. Calculate the power. Circuit Scenario 1 R1 Batt. + V1 R1 R2 R2 V(V) 10 I(A) R(Ω) P(W) Circuit Scenario 2 R1 Batt. V(V) 10 I(A) R(Ω) P(W) R1 R2 + V1 R2 R3 R3 Circuit Scenario 3 Make a circuit with 4 resistors in series. Draw the schematic showing the 4 resistors in series and determine the information for the chart below. Batt. V(V) 10 I(A) R(Ω) P(W) R1 R2 R3 R4 Conclusion: 1. What is the relationship between the voltages across the individual resistors and the voltage across the Power Supply ? 2. How do the currents in the resistors compare with each other? 3. What happens to the total current as more resistors are added across the same power supply? 4. How do you find the total resistance of a series circuit? PROBLEMS: Given that R1 = 500Ω; R2 = 600Ω; R3 = 300Ω; And Total Voltage of power supply = 100 Volts 1. and R4 = 400Ω a) What is the current in R1 if connected alone to the source? b) What is the current in R2 if connected alone to the source? c) What is the current in R3 if connected alone to the source? d) What is the current in R4 if connected alone to the source? e) As the resistance INCREASES the current ___________. Current and Resistance are( inversely or directly) related. 2. Draw a schematic of a series circuit showing R1 and R3 in series with the power supply. a. Find the total resistance, b.
