Prelab 7: DC Circuits 1

What are the units of Resistance?

Watch the video tutorial about series and parallel circuits. Explain what ammeters and voltmeters do – Why are they hooked up to the circuit differently, and why don't they affect the circuit?

What is the resistance of a resistor when the colored bands read yellow, red, green and gold ?

What is a thermistor?

Three resistors with values of 1,488 Ohms, 1,101 Ohms and 860 Ohms are in parallel with each other in a circuit. What is the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit?

Expert Solution

Units of resistance is ohm.

An ammeter is a low resistance galvanometer.It is used to measure the current in amperes.To measure the current of a circuit , the ammeter is connected in series to the circuit so that the current to be measured must pass through it.Since, the resistance of ammeter is low, so it's inclusion in series in the circuit does not change the resistance and hence the main current in the circuit.

A voltmeter is a high resistance galvanometer.It is used to measure potential difference between 2 points of the circuit in volts.To measure the potential difference between the 2 points of a circuit, the voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit.The voltmeter resistance being high, it draws minimum current from the main circuit and the potential difference to be measured is not affected materially.

The resistance of carbon resistor will be 425%.

A thermistor is a heat sensitive Device whose resistivity changes very rapidly with change of temperature.The temperature coefficient of resistance of a thermistor is very high, which may be positive or negative.

The equivalent resistance Will be

1/R =1/1488 + 1/1101 + 1/860.

Therefore R=364.5 ohm

LC and LRC circuits; simple harmonic and damped oscillations. What role does the resistance play in the circuit? What happens when you remove the resistance from the oscillator (place the resistance in the branch of the circuit with the switch, to avoid charging with no resistance)? How does Lenz’s Law lead directly to oscillation? Is it possible to critically damp the RLC circuit? How would this be done, and what would its effect be?
