    This document discusses experiments on series and parallel resistance circuits. The experiments aimed to verify the formulas for total resistance in series and parallel circuits and evaluate their understanding of these formulas. The results from both experiments matched the theoretical predictions from Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that the total resistance of a circuit equals the voltage divided by the current. The document also discusses a second experiment on voltage divider circuits and how voltage divides among the components based on Kirchhoff's Laws. Comparing measured and calculated resistance and voltage values validated their understanding of circuit analysis concepts. In conclusion, the experiments strengthened their comprehension of applying Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Law to analyze basic DC circuits.

    Discussion for open-ended lab

    Experiment 1: Series & Parallel Resistance


    Aim: To verify the formula of total resistance, R total in series & parallel

    1. For our first experiment which involves series and parallel resistance that

    we had conducted to clarify our understandings upon the formula and


    evaluate that knowledge onto both type of circuitry. Both experiment
    conducted shows positive results which means it follows the approval or
    the theory stated in Ohms Law. Our Ohms Law that we referred and
    deducted to was for the total resistance of a circuit is the results of a
    division between the voltage supply of the circuitry and the current
    flowing throughout the circuitry itself.
    Ohms Law:
    . Concept of
    Resistance: Resistance is the property of a component which restricts the flow
    of electric current. Energy is used up as the voltage across the component
    drives the current through it and this energy appears as heat in the component.
    Resistance is measured in ohms, the symbol for ohm is an omega ().

    2.

    Based on our results tabulated on Table 1.1 & Table 1.2 with the extra
    description for measured R1, R2 & R3 by their coloring which ensures us the
    guideline we need to compared our results measured by using a multi-meter
    and some extra connecting wires (instruments provided) on the DC
    FUNDAMENTAL BOARD for both parallel and series circuitry with the actual
    calculated ones. The multi-meter is used to measure the circuit voltage power
    source (voltmeter) and circuit current flow in microampere (ammeter). By
    measuring both of these factor will produce our resistance total directly. This
    calculation applied for both circuitry type only varies is that parallel resistors will
    we added inversely.
    3. For our second experiment which was on the voltage divider circuitry. In theory a
    voltage divider is a linear circuit that produces an output voltage (Vout) that is a
    fraction of its input voltage (Vin). Voltage division refers to the partitioning of a
    voltage among the components of the divider. The voltage divider is an
    application of Kirchhoffs Laws. Though it is an application of the Kirchhoffs
    Law, in this experiment our aim was to understand more about the relationship
    between the voltage of each resistance for both series and parallel circuit. Our
    connection is based on the Figure 2.1.
    4. To explain further about our experiment results which referred to Table 2.1, our
    resistance are colored-measured this gives us a guideline for our practical
    calculated values. Our voltage is measured by using a multimeter and is

    compared to the actual theoretical values which we deducted from the voltage
    divison equation. This calculation for all practical values are using the same
    formula the only concept that is varies are the type of circuitry.

    Conclusion
    Referring to our objective stated earlier in the report, we proven and sharpen our
    understanding more by having all our results giving positive response to all our
    experiment that we conducted throughout the process. We found out that Ohms Law
    has a lot of applications on DC FUNDAMENTAL basic practical and also Kirchhoffs Law
    which proves to be an alternate formula to describe the relationship between resistors
    in both series and parallel circuitry by applying the voltage division.
