ACDC Electro 012-05892C 41 1 1 momom Figure 6.3 R Connect the parallel circuit below, using all three resistors. Review the instructions for connecting the DMM as an ammeter in step 2. Connect it first between the positive terminal of the battery and the parallel circuit junction to measure I.. Then interrupt the various branches of the parallel circuit and measure the individual branch currents. Record your measurements in the table below. Parallel R Wwot R WWO Discussion Figure 6.4 On the basis of your first set of data, what is the pattern for how current behaves in a series circuit? At this point you should be able to summarize the behavior of all three quantities - sistance, voltage and current - in series circuits. On the basis of your second set of data, are there any patterns to the way that currents behave in a parallel circuit? At this time you should be able to write the general characteristics of currents, voltages and resistances in parallel circuits. PASCO
