1) To determine the relationships of resistance,
voltage, and current in circuits containing resistors
in series and in parallel.

2) Determine the applications of series and

parallel connections of resistors.

II. INTRODUCTION

The difference between between series and

parallel connection of resistors is when resistors
are connected in a series circuit, the voltage

V. CONCLUSION

To conclude the the report, The power rating of a

parallel connection is greater than a series
connection. The main difference among the two
kinds of connections,is power ratig all along. I
suppose they would be the same if only there
were more than two identical resistors. Use of the
incorrect property will result in the production of an
incorrect value. Resistance, voltage, and current
all have unique properties when used in a
particular circuit. Both the computations
themselves and how they are used depend on
these characteristics.
