Name: Worksheet

Measuring current in a parallel circuit

Task A: Measuring current in a parallel circuit


1) Set up circuit A and measure the current through the cell.
2) Measure the current through each branch.
3) Record all of your measurements.
4) Repeat steps 1 to 3 for circuits B and C.

A B C

5Ω 5Ω 10 Ω

10 Ω

Task B: The rule for current in parallel circuits


Laura and Lucas have built the circuit shown and are predicting the size of the
current through the lamp and resistor.

A larger current flows through A larger current flows


the resistor than the lamp through the lamp than the
because it has a smaller resistor because it is closer
resistance. to the cell.
