Question

Physics 4B Laboratory 3 quiz For questions 1 and 2, please refer to the following table and equations. Name: x-y 1. What does the table represent? Which part of the table represents the data collected? 2. What do m and b represent? 3. Why is it useful to calculate the following quantities? No 4. What is the equivalent resistance of a pair of resistors when you connect the two resistors in series? 5. What is the equivalent resistance of a pair of resistors when you connect the two resistors in parallel?

Explanation / Answer

4.

let the two resistors be R1 and R2

equivalent resistance when the two resistors are connected in series is given as

Rs = R1 + R2

so in series , equivalent resistance is simply the sum of the pair of resistors connected in series.

5.

let the two resistors be R1 and R2

equivalent resistance when the two resistors are connected in parallel is given as

Rp = (R1 R2)/(R1 + R2)

so in parallel , equivalent resistance is simply the product of pair of resistors divided by their sum .
