1. The current in every part of the circuit is the same. I=I₁ = I₂ = 13 2. The voltage across the group of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the voltages across the individual resistors. V=V₁ + V₂ + V3 3. The total resistance of the series group is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. R=R₁ + R₂ + R3 V3 I V₁ V₂ R₁ 1₁ R₂ R3 1₂ 13 Figure 1. Resistors in Series IV. Procedures: 1. The picture below shows the resistors connected in series.

2. Consider the current (1 or 5 A), and the voltage (5 or 15 V) used in the connection. These serves as basis in your readings of voltmeters and ammeters. Take the voltmeter and ammeter readings and record in the table for trials 1,2,3 and 4 in order. 0.4 0.6 2 3 3 6 9 12 15 V 0 0.2 RDM- 2 Al 0.8 l GLOBE 0 0 EDM-03 GLOB 15.1

3. Complete the tabulation. Solve for the total observed resistance. Data and Results - 9 points Questions - 10 points Conclusion -5 points = 24 points Total V. Data and Results: Table 1 Trial V(reading in (Volts) 1 2 Observed resistance (ohms) I (reading in A) R₁ = 6.8 ohms V₁= I₁ = R₂ = 10 ohms V₂ = I₂ = 3 R3 = 25 ohms V3 = I3 = 4 RT = VT= IT = RT = total observed resistance RT = R₁ + R₂ + R3 VI. Questions: 1. (2 pts.) What can you say about the current in the resistors connected in series? How is it related to the total current? 2. (2 pts.) What can you say about the voltage in each resistor in series (equal or not equal)? How are these voltages related to the total voltage? 3.(6 pts.) A circuit contains four 15-ohm resistors connected in series across a 120 volt source. a) What is the effective resistance of the circuit? b) What current will flow in the circuit? c) What will be the voltage across each resistor?
