Obtain 6 Resistors of different values. You are then going to determine their value two ways: use the colour code, Include the maximum and minimum tolerance value of each resistor then measure the resistor value with an ohmmeter.
Record your values in a chart
Choose 2 resistors and record their individual ohm resistance value measured with an ohmmeter.
R1: 996K ohm
R2: 468K ohm
Calculated Series: 1464K ohm
Measured Series: 1461K ohm
Calculated Parallel: 318.4K ohm
Measured Parallel: 319.6K ohm
What principles of electricity have you demonstrated with this? Explain.
With these readings and calculations I have shown the principles of resistors in a circuit.
When connected in series, 2 resistors are added together to get a total resistance.
When connected in parallel, total resistance of 2 resistors is given by the formula Rt = R1xR2/R1+R2
