Question
Your mischievous lab partner takes the resistor that you just experimented with and assembles it in a network with one other resistor and places them inside a black box. He challenges you to tell him the configuration of the resistors inside the box. Being an industrious physics student you connect the leads of the black box to your power source, voltmeter (in parallel), and ammeter (in series) and take the following simultaneous measurements. Use the above measurements to find the equivalent resistance of the arrangement. (Use ohm for Ohm.) Req = Based on your value of the equivalent resistance, what must the arrangement be? in series in parallel Now that you've answered his challenge, your lab partner asks you to give the resistance of the resistor that he added to the one you experimented with. Using the information you obtained in parts A and B, predict this value of the resistance of the second resistor.Explanation / Answer
Req = V/I
= 302.63 ohm
In Series
It shold be less than 302.63 ohm as in series resistances are Additive
