012-05892C AC DC Electronics Labora Experiment 5: Voltages in Circuits EQUIPMENT NEEDED: AC/DC Electronics Lab Board: Wire Leads, Resistors D-cell Battery - Multimeter Purpose The purpose of this lab will be to continue experimenting with the variables that contribute to the operation of an electrical circuit. You should have completed Experiment 4 before working on this lab. Procedure Connect the three equal resistors that you used in Experiment 4 into the series circuit shown below, using the springs to hold the leads of the resistors together without bending them. Con- nect two wires to the D-cell, carefully noting which wire is connected to the negative and which is connected to the positive. Now use the voltage function on the Multimeter to measure the voltages across the individual resistors and then across the combinations of resistors. Be careful to observe the polarity of the leads (red is +, black is -). Record your readings below. Series R 2 V 29 Figure 5.1 R = RX = 15 PASCO
