Objective:
 Understand the purpose of voltmeter and ammeter
 Apply Ohms Law to solve individual voltage & currents
Formula
 Ohms Law
V=IR
Where:
V= voltage
I=current
R=resistance in ohms

Series: IT=I1=I2=I3
V1=I1R1
IT=VT/RT

 Parallel: VT=V1=V2=…
 RT= (1/ R1+1/ R2+ 1/R3 +1/ R4 +1/ R5)
Materials
 DC supply
 Bread board
 DMM
 Jumping wires
 Alligator Clip
 Resistor

Conclusion:
From the experiment, we can see that there is a relation in terms of voltage divider and Ohm’s
Law. We can also take away that calculations were spot on and accurate as the measurements are
close. The applied steps are great way to understand how this combination circuit works, and this
was the best way to calculate as a whole. The entirety of the experiment, we can say that this
combination circuit simply, finding the parallel resistors, finding the resistance between each of
them, then calculating the remaining resistors and re accumulating the circuit as series. Then
simply using Ohm’s Law to solve the following calculations you wanted.
