    This document outlines an experiment on resistors in series. The objectives are to: 1. Measure voltage, current and resistance in a DC circuit. 2. Confirm Ohm's law through direct measurement. 3. Assemble a series-parallel circuit. 4. Measure voltage and current in a series-parallel circuit. The procedure involves constructing circuits with different resistor configurations and measuring the current and voltage values at various points. These measured values are then compared to theoretical calculations to determine percent deviation.

    Experiment 3 ~ Resistors in Series

    Lab Objectives
    By the end of this lab, students should be able to:
    1. Measure voltage, current and resistance in a dc circuit
    2. Confirm Ohm’s law by direct measurement.
    3. Assemble a series-parallel circuit
    4. Measure voltage and current in a series-parallel circuit.

    Of course, this equation can be extend to any number of resistors in series, so that for N resistors
    the equivalent resistance is given by :
    The Experiment

    Procedure
    1. Using the circuit of Figure 5.1 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k, R3 = 3.3 k, and E = 10 volts, determine the
    theoretical current and record it in Table 5.1. Construct the circuit. Set the DMM to read DC current and
    insert it in the circuit at point A. Remember, ammeters go in-line and require the circuit to be opened for
    proper measurement. The red lead should be placed closer to the positive source terminal. Record this
    current in Table 5.1. Repeat the current measurements at points B and C.

    2. Using the theoretical current found in Step 1, apply Ohm’s law to determine the expected voltage drops
    across R1, R2, and R3. Record these values in the Theory column of Table 5.2.

    3. Set the DMM to measure DC voltage. Remember, unlike current, voltage is measured across components.
    Place the DMM probes across R1 and measure its voltage. Again, red lead should be placed closer to the
    positive source terminal. Record this value in Table 5.2. Repeat this process for the voltages across R2 and
    R3. Determine the percent deviation between theoretical and measured for each of the three resistor voltages
    and record these in the final column of Table 5.2.

    4. Consider the circuit of Figure 5.2 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k, R3 = 3.3 k, R4 = 6.8 k and E = 20 volts.
    Using the voltage divider rule, determine the voltage drops across each of the four resistors and record the
    values in Table 5.3 under the Theory column. Note that the larger the resistor, the greater the voltage should
    be. Also determine the potentials VAC and VB, again using the voltage divider rule.

    5. Construct the circuit of Figure 5.2 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k, R3 = 3.3 k, R4 = 6.8 k and E = 20 volts. Set
    the DMM to measure DC voltage. Place the DMM probes across R1 and measure its voltage. Record this
    value in Table 5.3. Also determine the deviation. Repeat this process for the remaining three resistors.
    6. To find VAC, place the red probe on point A and the black probe on point C. Similarly, to find V B, place
    the red probe on point B and the black probe on ground. Record these values in Table 5.3 with deviations.
