You measured the resistance values and using an ohmmeter directly, and you also determined the values of and from Ohm's law in the two circuit configurations. In addition, the resistance was given from the resistor color-code. Which of these give the most accurate resistance value? Briefly explain your answer. Examine the power use determined for the individual resistors , and the combined resistances for both series and parallel configuration. Based on your observations, write a general equation that describes the "equivalent power" for each configuration. For the series circuit, based on your results, write an equation relating the voltage from the power source to the voltage across each component resistor. For the parallel circuit, based on your results, write an equation relating the current flow from the power source to the currents flow in each component resistor.

Consider the circuit configurations below, where two lightbulbs are connected to a single battery in different ways. Based on what you learned about parallel and series connections in lab, which of these two configurations would result in the light bulbs being the brightest? Fully explain your reasoning. Imagine that you are given four 100Ω resistors to build a circuit. Your challenge is to use all four of the resistors in the circuit, but the circuit must have an overall equivalent resistance of 100Ω. Is this possible? If so, draw a diagram of the circuit and explain how the connections result in a 100Ω equivalent resistance. If this is not possible, draw a diagram of a circuit involving all four resistors that has an equivalent resistance as close to 100Ω as is possible.
