PART B: RESISTORS IN PARALLEL 6. 7. Compare the three measured voltages in Part B. What relationship do you find? Calculate the percent error for the across the power supply as the accepted value. voltage across each resistor individually, using the voltage 8. Compare the three measured currents in Part B. What relationship do you find? State your answer as a mathematical expression, using conventional ymbolism. How would you interpret this result in terms of the Law of Conservation of Charge? Calculate the percent error for the sum of the currents in the two branches, using the current coming out of the power supply as the accepted value. 9. 10. Compare the manufacturer's stated accuracy with your calculated % errors for current and voltage once again, and explain whether of your measurements verify (or fail to verify) any of Kirchhoffs laws. Part B. Resistors in parallel Position Voltage (Volts) Current (mA) across R across R across R,+R %.01 4.0 entire circuit through R Q, through RExplanation / Answer
the voltage across the parallel connections is same, because we are going to find the voltage between two ends and are same in parallel connections. so the voltage across the resistors that are connected in parallel showing the same result as combination i.e., 5.01 V.
where as the current will distribute in parallel connection, at junction the current divides according to the resistance of the resistors. here the current through resistor R3 is more means resistance of R3 is less compared to the resistance of R4. How ever the total current will distribute according to the formula I tot* R3/(R3+R4) and I tot*R4/(R3+R4).
how ever to measure the percentage error we need to know the original or standard values.
