Introduction My research is based on how Ohm’s law is derived and how it is used to solve problems in series and parallel connection and the resistance of a material. Ohm’s Law shows the relationship between the voltage (V)‚ current (I) and resistance (R). It can be written in three ways: V = I × R or I =V/R or R = V/I The resistance (R) of a material depends on Its length‚ cross-sectional area‚ The resistivity‚ and Resistance also depends on temperature‚ usually

Ohm’s Law is V = I * R or in some cases I = V / R. The next two laws were established by a German physicist by the name of Gustav Kirchhoff. Kirchhoff’s first law is his voltage law. Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) states that around any loop in a circuit‚ the voltage rises must equal the voltage drops. The next law that Kirchhoff introduced was his current law. Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) states that the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction. These laws

Cells in series and in parallel Cells in Series When cells are connected in series with each other and they are all connected in the same direction the total potential difference supplied to the circuit is the individual potential differences added together. Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3 Identical cells in parallel with each other When identical cells are in parallel with each other the total potential difference supplied to the circuit is equal to the potential difference of just one of the

Title: Resistors in Series and Parallel Date: 17/7/05 Aim: The aim of this experiment is to compare the predicted and actual resistance in a circuit of resistor combinations in series and in parallel. Background: A resistor is an electrical component/device that has electrical resistance. Resistors can be used in electric circuits for protection of components‚ voltage division or current control. In an ideal resistor the resistance remains constant regardless of the applied voltage or current
