OBJECTIVE:
This experiment is intended to verify the study of equivalent resistance. It helps us find out the
effective value of a resistor. This experiment should show you the difference between resistors
in series and parallel.
THEORY:
Series and Parallel Combination of Resistors:
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in series equals the summation of the
resistance of each resistor. The voltage across the terminals of a series arrangement is
distributed among the resistors proportionally to the resistance of each resistor. The equivalent
resistance of a series circuit is given by,
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel equals the summation of the inverse
of each individual resistance. The total current flow through the circuit is calculated by
summing up the current flow through each resistor. The equivalent resistance of a parallel
circuit is given by,

2. Turn on the power supply and vary the voltage of the supply from 0V to 10V. For each setting
of the supply voltage measure the voltage and current indicated in Figure 3. Tabulate your
measurements in Table 3.
3. Calculate the parallel equivalent resistance Rp.
4. Construct the circuit as shown in figure 4 with a resistor of same value of Rp. Measure the
voltage and current. Tabulate your results in table 4.

Discussion:
We learned that current and voltage hold a direct relationship for resistive components.
We have learned the use of voltmeter and ammeter in series and parallel, resistors,DC power
supply,wires and all other equipment which is used in doing the practical. There may be many mistake
for persona or experimental error.
In series combination there are some error for resistor. We are use 10 and 20 volts
and we find the solution in experimently 10.08 and 20.16,so the error are 0.08 and
0.16 .
In parallel combination there are some error for resistor.We are use 10 and 20 volts
and we find the solution in experimently 9.306 and 19.97, so the error are 0.694
and 0.03.
