DC Circuits



Here we began our lecture on Direct current to see how voltage and current work with resistors between parallel and series circuits. We predicted the light bulb in the middle would light up dimly if it was connected in the circuit, but we were wrong, it stayed out.




Above we connected bulbs in series. We found the current is the same throughout, however the voltage drops after each interaction with a resistor in the circuit.




Above we found in parallel circuits, the current is not the same as would be in a series circuit, however the voltage is the max offered by the EMF/battery.



Here we had to figure out the resistance of resistors based on the colors of them. We then tested them to verify their resistance, which was close to what they were marketed as.
