PIRA 5F20.55 Circuit Analysis: Series/Parallel Resistors
Photo of the Demonstration Used at the University of Texas at Austin.
Instructions / Notes:
- Two different see through circuits boxes with built in voltmeter and ammeters, along with a 3 volt power supply are provided.
- The series circuit box, 5F10.10, comes with three *10 ohm* resistors in series and a 3 volt power supply.
- The parallel circuit box, 5F20.55, comes with three *25 ohm* resistors in parallel and a 3 volt power supply.
- The circuit boxes have toggle switches to add or remove the second and third resistors to the circuit.
- The Korean made projection voltmeters and ammeters have about a 10% error factors.
