SCI 301-15A Physical Science - Assignment: Resistance in Parallel Circuits Online Lab. Part 1: Creating a Parallel Circuit and Part 2: Calculating Equivalent Resistance. Questions and Answers. 1. Expl... ain why the first circuit made is a series circuit and not a parallel circuit. NEXT PAGE 2. Describe how the current flows through this circuit. 3. What is the current flowing through each of the lightbulbs? 4. What is the total current flowing in the circuit? 5. What is the voltage of the circuit? 6. What is the voltage of each lightbulb? 7. Show your work for the calculation of the resistance of the first lightbulb. 8. Show your work for the calculation of the resistance of the second lightbulb. 9. Show your work for the calculation of the resistance of the entire circuit. 10. Data Table for Circuit with 2 Resistors 13. How does the overall or equivalent resistance compare to the individual resistances? How does this compare to the equivalent resistance in series circuits?14. Calculate the equivalent resistance for each of the parallel circuits created, using the information from the data tables in Questions 10, 11, and 12. [Show More]
