You will prepare and submit a term paper on The Comparing Measured and Theoretical Values of V, I, R in Series and Parallel Arrangement. Your paper should be a minimum of 1250 words in length. This is the electric potential difference per unit charge in a complete circuit, and it is measured in volts

Current

The electric charge movement is current in an electric circuit, the charge carried by flowing electrons in a wire.

Resistance

This is the opposition of the flow of an electric current through a conductor in a complete circuit

The series arrangement of the circuit

For the series arrangement, current only has one path to follow. thus, it will be equal in any part of the circuit, that is, IT= I1= I2= I3. Since it is a series arrangement, the electromotive force supplied by the power supply means the total voltage will be equal to the volts' summation through the respective resistance (Wright, 2011). Kirchhoff’s loop will yield VT = V1 + V2 + V3. This is illustrated bel

&nbsp.The parallel arrangement of circuit

For the parallel arrangements, there is more than one path for the current to follow. Thus, the potential difference across the resistance will be equal, and the total current will be the summation of the individual currents across the resistance. Since V= IR, R =V/I (Wright, 2011).

Kirchhoff’s first law

Kirchhoff’s first law generally shows that the total current ingoing a connection must be equal to the current leaving that connection (Paul, 2001. That is to say, current in = current out, and there is the conservation of charge. Taking into consideration a parallel circuit connection, current in = current out (IT= I1 + I2 + I3).

Ohm’s law

Ohm’s law is concerned with the connection between current and voltage in an ideal conductor. It states that the voltage through a perfect conductor is directly proportional to the current through that conductor (Simon & Szwarc, 2001).

That is, IR =V, where R = the constant of proportionality. Any material obeying that law is called Ohmic or linear material. From V=IR, we can get R=V/I

The provided resistances R1, R2, and R3 were measured, and values recorded.

The circuit set up was arranged, as shown above. the voltage across R1, R2, and R3 were measured one at a time by replacing the voltmeter terminals across the resistor.

The ammeter was placed in series in the circuit, the circuit opened at one of the connections to put the ammeter at the open ends.
