I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
 An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving
through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric
charge through a surface or into a control volume. The moving particles are called charge
carriers, which may be one of several types of particles, depending on the conductor. In
electric circuits the charge carriers are often electrons moving through a wire. In
semiconductors they can be electrons or holes. In an electrolyte the charge carriers are
ions, while in plasma, an ionized gas, they are ions and electrons.

Electric circuits are classified in several ways. A direct-current circuit carries current
that flows only in one direction. An alternating-current circuit carries current that pulsates
back and forth many times each second, as in most household circuits. (For a more-
detailed discussion of direct- and alternating-current circuits, see electricity: Direct electric
current and electricity: Alternating electric currents.) A series circuit comprises a path
along which the whole current flows through each component. A parallel circuit comprises
branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch. The
voltage, or potential difference, across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same, but
the currents may vary. In a home electrical circuit, for instance, the same voltage is applied
across each light or appliance, but each of these loads draws a different amount of
current, according to its power requirements. A number of similar batteries connected in
parallel provides greater current than a single battery, but the voltage is the same as for
a single battery.

The resistor is a passive electrical component that creates resistance in the flow of
electric current. In almost all electrical networks and electronic circuits they can be found.
The resistance is measured in ohms (Ω). An ohm is the resistance that occurs when a
current of one ampere (A) passes through a resistor with a one volt (V) drop across its
terminals. The current is proportional to the voltage across the terminal ends.

I was able to understand more about the various while performing the activity as a
student and future Electronics Engineer, and I was able to utilize what I learned in our
"Circuits" class. It depends on my grasp of how to determine a circuit's overall resistance.
This activity taught me how to program a simple circuit in LabVIEW without having to do
any calculations manually. It showed me how to use LabVIEW functions in a broader
context. This assignment made me think about how I'll use LabVIEW's numerous features
to build applications that are relevant to our class.

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS

My advice for future students who will be assigned to the same activity are as follows:

• Always recall the basics and review that you've learned.

• Make an attempt to be resourceful and imaginative.
• Make yourself familiar with LabVIEW navigation, it will come in helpful.
• Take each lesson very seriously. Always be prepared for what is to come and
make good use of your time.
