TITLE
Effect of addition of resistors in series and parallel on total power
Objective:
Understanding the impact of adding resistors (load) in both series and parallel
configurations on total power.
Component Required/Used:
Resistors
Wires
Power Supply / Voltage Source
Equipment Required/Used:
Digital Multimeter
Bread Board
1. Muhammad Wasiq Saleem(412088):
Simulation:
Procedure:
Its procedure is quite [Link] I took voltage source, 4 resistors and voltmeter.
In first step I connected resistors in series and find the load.
In second second I connected resistors in series and find the effect of resistors on
load.
2. Abdullah Tahir (405142):
Simulation:
For series
For parallel
Procedure:
First I took voltage source, 3 resistors and voltmeter.
In first step I connected resistors in series one by one and find the load.
In second step I connected resistors in Parallel one by one and find the effect of
resistors on load.
3. Abdullah(412773):
Simulation:
Procedure:
Procedure For Hardware:
We take some resistors and wires and calculate their resistance (theoretical) through
color coding and calculate their resistance (experimental) with the help of a Multimeter.
Then we use those resistors and wires to make the required circuit on the bread board.
Then we connect the circuit to a voltage source.
Then we used multimeter to measure voltage of load resistor.
We made two [Link] first circuit we connected resistors in series and in second
resistors we connected resistors in parallel.

Results and Discussions:
Here we understood the effect of adding load on [Link] are due to following reasons.
Faulty apparatus.
Loose connections
Human error.
As our resistance was very big therefore effect of these things was low.
Lesson Learnt:
1. Muhammad Wasiq Saleem:.
Used load resistors in series and parallel with a 20V source.
Tested power in series: one resistor, two, and all three.
Discovered maximum power with a single resistor in series.
Connecting all three resistors in parallel yielded the highest power in this setup.
2. Abdullah Tahir:
I learned how to add resistors and voltage source in proteus
I learned how to calculate power in series: one resistor, two, and all three.
I discovered maximum power with a single resistor in series.
