Electric Circuits Lab 2 1 1.1 Series and Parallel Resistor Combinations Resistors in series Using a multimeter, measure the resistances of the three resistors that you have. Measured resistance of R1 Measured resistance of R2 Measured resistance of R3 Calculate the equivalent resistance for the following series combinations. After you calculate the values, then connect the resistors in series and measure the equivalent resistance directly. You do not need to make a circuit to measure the resistances (you do not need a voltage supply). Calculated R1 in series with R2 R1 in series with R3 R2 in series with R3 R1 in series with R2 in series with R3 1 Measured 1.2 Resistors in parallel Calculate the equivalent resistance for the following parallel combinations. The notation R1 k R2 means “R1 in parallel with R2 ”. After you calculate the values, then connect the resistors in parallel and measure the equivalent resistance directly. Calculated Measured R1 k R2 R1 k R3 R2 k R3 R1 k R2 k R3 2 Three-Resistor Circuits Analyze the circuit below and calculate the values requested in the table. R1 12 V R2 R3 2 Calculated values Voltage across with high potential on which side? (left, right, top, bottom) Current through with current flowing toward what direction? (left, right, up,down) R1 R2 R3 Now, connect the circuit to the voltage supply and measure the corresponding quantities. IMPORTANT: When the multimeter is set to measure current, it is very easy to blow the fuse if you do not connect the multimeter to the circuit in the proper way. If you are not absolutely sure that you have the meter connected properly, please turn the meter off and keep the meter off until your instructor can check your setup. Measured values Voltage across with high potential on which side? (left, right, top, bottom) R1 R2 R3 3 Current through with current flowing toward what direction? (left, right, up,down)
