PARALLEL CIRCUIT
OBJECTIVES
1. To learn to connect a parallel circuit from a schematic diagram.
2. To prove that the voltage is constant, and the total current is the sum of the
individual current in parallel circuit.
3. To calculate and measure the equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit.

INSTRUMENT AND MATERIALS

• DC Power Supply
• VOM
• DC Milliammeter
• DC Voltmeter
• Resistors (100Ω, 330Ω, 220Ω)

DISCUSSION
Parallel circuits can be solved by applying Ohm’s Law and from the knowledge of
the following rules: (a) the total current is equal to the sum of the currents in each
branch of the circuit and (b) the voltage is constant or equal in every branch of the
circuit.

PROCEDUREs
1. Calculate the total current, total resistance and the individual currents and
voltages of the circuit shown in Figure 6.1.
2. Connect the ammeter in series with the DC supply as shown in Figure 6.2. Turn
on the power supply and measure the total current and record the data in the
table.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

1. Compare your measured values with your calculated values. Is there a close
agreement between the two values? Explain your answer.
Yes, there is a close agreement between the measured values and calculated
values. We all know that in parallel circuit, VT = V1 = V2 = V3, meaning the voltage
is constant or the same all through out the circuit. And the total current is the sum
of all the current all throughout the circuit.
2. Find the resistance R1 in Figure 6.4.
OBSERVATIONS
In this experiment, I observe that the lower the resistance the higher the current
which result as you add more branches in the circuit the total current also increases.
And since our circuit is a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same in all branches in the
circuit. I notice that there is not much difference between the calculated value and the
measured values therefore they agree. I observe that the current that flows through
each of the resistor connected in parallel is not necessarily the same value as it
depends upon the resistive value of the resistor.

CONCLUSION
The voltage across each resistor within a parallel combination is the same but
the currents flowing through them are not the same as this is determined by their
resistance value and Ohms Law. Then parallel circuits are current dividers.

Test your knowledge

1. Compare your measured values with your calculated values. Is there a close agreement
between the two values? Explain your answer.

- The two values are in agreement. By using the Ohm’s law, we accurately calculated
the voltage and current present in the circuit. This is supported by the very same
value measured by the multimeter. I think this shows us how accurate Ohm’s law can
be when it comes to measuring the voltage, current, or resistance in a circuit. As long
as we know how to utilize it well and have knowledge on what variables to consider,
the computations will always be close to the measured value.

2. Find the resistance in R1 in Figure 6.4.

Figure 6.4
Observations
- Based on our calculations, the voltage in each component in a parallel circuit is the
same. The total current on the other hand is the sum of all the currents flowing
through each component. This is different from series circuits where the current flow
is only in one direction whereas parallel circuits divide that flow into each component.

We have also observed the accuracy of Ohm’s law when it is used in calculations
and compared to the measured values of a multimeter.

Conclusion
- Since parallel circuits contain multiple paths for current to flow, that current gets
divided into fragments that supply each component that it passes through. Parallel
circuit is also unique where its total voltage is the same across each component.

There is a close agreement between measure and calculated value. Voltage of each
resistor in measured values are not equal to each other or to the main supply.

2. Find the resistance R1 in Figure 6.4.

R1=19V

OBSERVATIONS

We observed that in Parallel Circuit when all the devices are connected using parallel
connections, in this kind of circuit, each device is placed in its own separate branch. The
presence of branch lines means that there are multiple pathways by which charge can
traverse the external circuit.

CONCLUSION

We therefore conclude that the parallel circuit is a circuit that has two wires, which are
parallel to each other that both have one resistor connected to it. In this circuit, the
current breaks up to flow through each parallel wire, and then re-combines when the
wires meet again. Parallel circuits have a constant voltage.

OBSERVATIONS:
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is equal, but the current flowing
through each resistor is different, whereas in a series circuit, the current is equal.
CONCLUSION:
It is more accurate to use measuring equipment rather than only calculating in parallel
circuit. Although there is a high level of agreement, it is not as precise as computed figures.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

1. Compare your measured values with your calculated values. Is there a close agreement
between the two values? Explain your answer.
• Yes. The only difference between measured value and calculated value is that the
battery in the simulation have a 1.5 resistance, so that the voltage value in all
resistors is dropped to 8.77 Volts.
• To prove that I measured the voltage and amperage of the battery of the
Tinkercad and also, I used LTspice Simulation, and I put 1.5 resistance to the
voltage source.

R = V / I = 9V / 6A = 1.5Ω (Resistance of the battery)

= 10A – (19V / 10Ω) – (19V / 25Ω)
= 10A – 1.9A – 0.76A
I1 = 7.34A

R1 = VT / I1 = 19V / 7.34A = 2.59Ω

OBSERVATION:

• I observed that it is very important to observe the proper wiring to ensure that the values
from input to output that we need to locate are all correct. I also discovered that all
materials, including cells and batteries, restrict current flow to some extent. This is due to
the materials used to manufacture a battery.

CONCLUSION:

• I conclude that connecting wire in parallel diagram are need more analyzing to make that
all wires are properly connected.
• Voltage source in a parallel circuit is constant because the node of individual resistors is
connected to the positive side of the voltage source, and the sum of all current in every
resistor are equal to the total current in parallel circuit.

OBSERVATION:
We observed that if two or more resistors are connected in parallel, then the potential
difference across each resistor is same. Resistors in parallel connection are connected to the
same nodes.

CONCLUSION:
We may conclude that in this experiment we get the right measurement of the
equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit and also every connected in a parallel circuits gets
equal amount of voltage and it becomes easy to connect or disconnect a new element without
affect the working of their elements if any fault happened to the circuit, then the current is
able to pass through the circuits through different paths

EXPERIMENT No. 6
PARALLEL CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVES
1. To learn to connect a parallel circuit from a schematic diagram.
2. To prove that the voltage is constant and the total current is the sum of the
individual currents in a parallel circuit.
3. To calculate and measure the equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit.

INSTRUMENTS AND MATERIALS

DC Power Supply
VOM
DC Milliammeter
DC Voltmeter
Connecting wires
Resistors (100 Ω,330 Ω and 220 Ω)

DISCUSSION

Parallel circuits can be solved by applying Ohm’s Law and from the knowledge of the
following rules: (a) the total current is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch of the
circuit and (b) the voltage is constant or equal in every branch of the circuit.
PROCEDURES

1. Calculate the total current, total resistance and the individual currents and
voltages of the circuit shown in Figure 6.1.
2. Connect the ammeter in series with the DC supply as shown in Figure 6.2. Turn
on the power supply and measure the total current and record the data in the
table.
3. Measure the individual currents and voltages by connecting the milliammeters
and voltmeters as shown in Figure 6.3. Record the data in the table.
4. Disconnect the circuit from the supply and measure the total resistance. Record
the data in the table.
