help write short lab report
Discuss your observations with this simple circuit and how changing the potentiometer knob affects the lightbulb. Hypothesize about what the potentiometer could be doing the circuit.
Report Questions
Show how your data demonstrates the validity of Ohm's Law. Include your table of data plot, fits, and any mathematical derivations you find relevant. Do this for both methods explored in the lab.
Report Questions
- Articulate the difference between resistors in parallel and in series.
- Show, based on your measurements, that the rules for resistance addition are true:R1+2=R1+R2in series1R1+2=1R1+1R2in parallel
- Use Ohm's Law to show that the currents passing through each resistor for the parallel circuit match or are close to your measured values.
