Title: Resistors in Series and Parallel
Date: 17/7/05
Aim:
The aim of this experiment is to compare the predicted and actual resistance in a circuit of resistor combinations in series and in parallel.
Background:
A resistor is an electrical component/device that has electrical resistance. Resistors can be used in electric circuits for protection of components, voltage division or current control. In an ideal resistor the resistance remains constant regardless of the applied voltage or current,

are quite useful in calculating theoretical values for the resistance of circuits in series and parallel that are close to the "real world" values.
