Key Features
- Demonstrates resistors connected in series and in parallel.
- Covers equivalent resistance, current flow and voltage division.
- Supports hands-on verification of the rules for combining resistors.
- Lets students measure the voltage drop across individual resistors.
- Can be used with compatible ammeters, voltmeters, power supplies and leads.
About This Product
Students identify the series and parallel terminals and connect a low-voltage supply. An ammeter measures the current in the circuit or branch under test, and a voltmeter is placed across each resistor or group. Resistance, voltage and current readings for each arrangement are recorded and compared with calculated equivalent resistance values. The apparatus is used for Ohm’s law activities, resistor-network demonstrations and introductory electronics practicals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How are current and voltage measured on this apparatus?
An ammeter measures the current in the circuit or branch being tested, and a voltmeter measures the voltage across each resistor or resistor group. The readings are then compared with calculated equivalent resistance values.
