Introduction and Theory:

Simple resistive circuits are kind of electric circuits which can be simplified into a circuit of one loop.

In this experiment we will make three simple circuits consists of voltage source and resistors combined in two ways:

1. In series:

• The same current will go through the resistors.
• The voltage drop will divide between the resistors in a direct proportion to their resistances.
• We can replace all the resistors with an equivalent resistor whose resistance is given by the sum of the resistors;
• R(eq)= R1 + R2 + … + Rn

2. In parallel:

• The current will divide between the resistors in an inverse proportion.
• The voltage drop across the resistors will be the same.
• We can replace all the resistors with an equivalent resistor whose resistance is given by: 1/R(eq) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + … + 1/Rn

• In all our calculations we will use the Ohm’s law:  V = I.R
