3. Two Resistors Connected in Series ( Fig. 1.6 a and b )
a. Record the gradual increase in voltage from 0.5 V to 5V. Find the
best fit line, display the equation and the slope and intercept.
Record the slope. Measure the voltage over each current and
over the current over each
resistor.
4. Two Resistors Connected in Parallel ( Fig. 1.7 a and b )
a. Record the gradual increase in voltage from 0.5 V to 5V. Find the
best fit line, display the equation and the slope and intercept.
Record the slope. Measure the voltage over each current and
over the current over each resistor.
