Part 3: Resistors in Parallel and Series Aim: To understand how the magnitude of the total resistance is calculated in a parallel and series circuit. Resistors in Series Procedure: 1. Create a circuit with one battery and 2 resistors in series. 2. Using the voltmeter tool, measure the voltage across each resistor, and then the whole circuit. Record results in table below. 3. Using the non-contact ammeter tool, measure the current through the wire near each resistor and the battery. Record the results. 4. Calculate the resistance for each resistor and the whole circuit using the equation R=V/I (Ohm's Law). 5. Repeat these steps, but add another resistor each time. Go up to 4 resistors.

Superposition Method. Determine the voltages at the 5-ohm resistor due to the 24-Volt, 36-Volt and 4-Ampere Sources. Also, what is the total voltage at the said resistor? Remember: Voltage sources are shorted and current sources are opened (removed) during individual source analysis.
Two resistors, 18 ohms and 24 ohms, are to be connected in parallel across the certain voltage source. The power dissipated by the 18-ohm resistor was found to be 72 watts. The parallel resistors are then disconnected, only to be reconnected in a series connection. Across what new voltage source should the series combination be connected to preserve the 72-watt dissipation of the 18-ohm resistor?
