Was the sum of the measured voltages across the individual resistors in the series circuit equal to the measured voltage across the combination? Is this result to be expected? Explain briefly. Was the sum of the measured currents through the individual resistors in the parallel circuit equal to the measured total current? Is this result to be expected? Explain briefly. Were the voltages across the individual resistors in the parallel circuit the same? Explain briefly. Do your experimental results support the series and parallel formulas for combinations of resistances? Discuss. At the junction of two resistors an electric current will split and part of the charge will flow through one resistance and the remainder of the charge through the other resistance. Which resistance has the larger current through it? Why? State a situation analogous to the electrical situation of Question 5, involving water flowing through pipes.
