Question 4 Using my data, I found the specific voltages across the resistors in relation to the overall circuit voltage. In a series circuit, the total voltage is evenly distributed among each resistor with equal magnitude. The mathematical relationship in this would be Vtotal= V1+V2+V3 1.9V+1.9V+1.9V= 5.7V Question 5. In a series problem resistor, the current remains uniform. Consequently, all three resistors will carry the identical current. The sum of the currents flowing through each individual path equals the total current coming from the source. Mathematical Relationship: .64+.64+.64= 1.92 A. Question 6. Yes, in Part B the voltages varied across each resistor. The resistor with the largest voltage is the 1000ohm, followed by the resistor of 750 ohm, and then the resistor of 470 ohm. This is because of Ohm's Law and that the resistance is directly proportional to the voltage. Therefore, if the resistor has a large value, then the current will be higher. Question 7. The total current between Part A and Part B arises from the distinct resistor values employed. Part A features identical resistor values, while Part B incorporates resistors with varying magnitudes. Therefore, in Part B, the total current is greater since the resistors possess dissimilar values, and each segment of the resistor doesn't have an identical current flow. In contrast, in Part A, all three resistors share the same resistance value. In Part A they all had the same resistance values and in Part B they had different resistor values.
