Measuring Resistance parallel combination
For parallel combination of resistors, this relation exists between
the effective resistance R and the components:
(1)/(R) = (1)/(R1) + (1)/(R2) + ⋯
Objective
Measure the resistance of parallel combination of resistors. Values 560, 1000 and 2200 Ohms are available with the kit.
Procedure for two resistors
- Measure the resistances separately.
- Connect them as shown in the figure.
- Observe the value shown on the right side panel.
- Compare the values with calculated results.
- Repeat the experiment with different resistors.
