SERIES COMBINATION OF RESISTORS:
The combination of resistors in which resistors to be put in series with each
other.
In series combination:
Veq=V1+V2+V3
Req=R1+R1+R3
EXPERIMENT:
First of all we take three resistors R1,R2 and R3 such that:
R1=1.1kΩ
R2=1.1kΩ
R3=1.1kΩ
Now we put these resistor in series on a bread board then we find equivalent
resistance through DMM which is equall to 3.3kΩ.
V1=1.6v
V2=1.6v
V3=1.6v
Then we find current through DMM by breaking the circuit which is connected
in series with the combination of resistors.
I=1.39mA
A
V Ammeter
I=V/R
I=4.9v/3300Ω
I=0.0014=1.4mA
CONCLUSION:
In parallel combination the voltage across all the resistors will be same.
While
1/Req=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3
And
I=V/Req
I1=V/R1
I2=V/R2
I3=V/R3
EXPERIMENT:
First of all We connect three resistors in parallel on a bread board.
R1=179.7
R2=181.5
R3=181.7
Req (calculated)=60.31
Req(measured)=61.2
V=4.5
I1=V/R1=4.5/179.7=25mA
I2=V/R2=4.5/181.5=24.79mA
I3=V/R3=4.5/181.7=24.7mA
I=V/Req = 4.5/60.31=74.61mA
For current calculation we break the circuit and connect dmm in series with
resistors on a bread board:
CONCLUSION:
Calculated current=74.61mA
Measured (DMM) current=68.7mA
