Introduction
The aim of this lab was to compare the resistance in different ordered series and parallel
circuits. The resistor is supposed to create a linear relationship between current and voltage.
Three resistors were tested in the previous lab, all three resistors contain different resistance.
We concluded in the last experiment that the order in a parallel circuit does not matter. The
order of the resistors in a series circuit does not matter. The objective for this lab is to see if the
order does matter in a series and parallel circuit combination.
Materials
Set Up
As shown in Figure 5, the voltage sensor is connected into the universal
interface. The voltage leads are corresponding to the positive and
negative outlets. The resistors are then connected to the voltage
current sensor in the corresponding series/parallel combination.

Procedure
Connect only one resistor at a time, in series, atop of two other resistors, in parallel with
the voltage sensor. Keep note of the order of the resistors.
Start with 0 Volts on your signal generator and keep your measurement. Change one volt
up and keep the measurement until you reach 10 V. Stop recording. Using the linear fit
function in your Capstone file, find the slope of the graph you just acquired. Take a
screenshot of each graph for the lab report's Data and Data Analysis.
Repeat the same steps switching the order of the resistors while keeping the same
series/parallel combination.

The overall setup resistance was consistent with the experimental value of the resistor that was
in series.
Conclusions
As previously stated in a series or a parallel circuit the order of the resistors does not matter.
This is because the values will all add up in the same way using their theoretical equations.
However, when using a series/parallel combination circuit the equation changes. The equation
