Experiment 3

This document provides instructions for students to conduct a circuit simulation experiment involving series, parallel and combination circuits. Students are asked to construct circuits using resistors in different configurations, measure the voltage and current across each resistor, record their findings in a table and calculate the total resistance. They then analyze the relationships between resistance, voltage and current.

General Instruction:
This experiment would help you in building a circuit and examine the relationship of different quantities.
Read the instruction carefully. You may refer to this link as a guide in using the simulation for this
experiment. Note that you must record a video of using and constructing the circuits.

I. Series Connection
1. Construct a circuit using 1 battery, wires, and 3 resistors all connected in series
connection.
2. Click each resistor to change their resistance value. You must assign resistances that are
DIFFERENT from each other. Write the resistances on the table below.
3. Measure the voltage across each resistor using the voltmeter on the right side of the
simulation screen. Record your data on the table below.
4. Measure the current across each resistor of the circuit using the ammeter icon on the
right side of the simulation screen. Record your data on the table below.
5. Solve for the Req of the given resistors. Write your solution and answer below.

II. Parallel Connection


1. Construct a circuit using 1 battery, wires, and 3 resistors all connected in parallel
connection.
