The scope of the experiment was within the discussion of the series and parallel

circuits. Notably, the behavior of the three components of a simple circuit namely the
voltage, current and resistance were precisely inspected. Note that the study is crucial
in innumerable areas of the industry as all modern machines operate electricity. To
return to the subject, the researchers had verified the relationship that exists between
the three fundamental components of an electric circuit through the comprehension of
the principle of Ohm’s Law. To explain, the researchers had accumulated numerical
evidences through suitable instruments to ascertain the quantities directly and compare
it with the equation of Ohm’s law. Moreover, the researchers had also established a
model circuit to represent the two types of circuits. For one thing, the paper limits itself
to only the idea of the Ohm’s Law with regards to the relationship between quantities.
All things considered, a series circuit intends an identical quantity of current flow
through all the components situated inline. Note that it is called ‘series’ as the
components are in the same singular path of the current flow. To explain, when
components such as resistors are put in a series circuit connection, the same current
flows through these resistors. However, each will have disparate voltages. Note that the
voltage of the whole circuit will be the average of the voltages in every component.
Notwithstanding, the other type of connection is called ‘parallel’. Conversely,
components of such circuit are not inline. To put it differently, the components are wired
in separate loops. Fundamentally, this circuit splits the current flow. To point out, the
current flowing through each component will ultimately combine to form the current
flowing in the source. Albeit, the voltages across the ends of the components are the
same; the polarities are also identical.
For the most part it was interesting to assimilate the fact that series circuits will
break if one component, such as a resistor, burns out; henceforth, the circuit won’t be
complete. At the same time, in parallel circuits however, the functioning of other
components will continue, as each component has its own circuit and is independent.
Subsequently, it was also interesting to assimilate multitudinous aspects with regards to
the data gathered. In detail, for the series circuit, it has been noted that the voltage is
directly proportional to the resistance while the current is constant. Equally important, on
parallel circuits, it is found that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance
while the voltage is constant.
In the final analysis, the application of the series and parallel circuit is a crucial
factor in the field of Electrical Engineering (e.g electrical system layout in a plan of a
building). To explain, the electrical plan contains the quantity of electricity that the
building can utilize. By the same token, the building comprises of connection wires.
Note that this is where the current flows through. In like manner, another application is
on the manipulation of transmission lines and power lines. Fundamentally, these lines
are connected in a way that there would be constant flow of electricity. Note these lines
resists towards a state of being overloaded.
