Series Resistance.png

<div style="color:#ff0000;"></div>
|| <div style="color:#000000;">We will create this series resistor circuit for demonstration.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">For this circuit we require:</div>
* <div style="color:#000000;margin-left:1.27cm;margin-right:0cm;">Three resistors of 1 Kilo Ohms</div>
* <div style="color:#000000;margin-left:1.27cm;margin-right:0cm;">One Ammeter</div>
* <div style="color:#000000;margin-left:1.27cm;margin-right:0cm;">One Switch and</div>
* <div style="color:#000000;margin-left:1.27cm;margin-right:0cm;">One 12 Volts DC Power Supply</div>

|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
| style="color:#ff0000;" |
| style="color:#000000;" | Let us open the '''circuitjs''' interface.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
| style="color:#ff0000;" |
|| First, we will create a simulation circuit for the<span style="color:#0674b3;"> </span>resistors connected in series.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| Draw => Add Resistor

Right-click => Duplicate
|| Click on '''File''' and select '''New Blank Circuit.'''
Click on the '''Draw''' option in the menu bar and select '''Add resistor.'''

Click and drag to draw a resistor as shown.

By default, the value of this resistor is 1 Kilo Ohms.

We need three resistors with the same values.

Right-click on the resistor and select the '''Duplicate''' option.

Place the resistor as shown here.

Repeat the same process one more time to get three resistors in the circuit.

Connect them in series as shown.

Using the '''Add Text '''option, name the multiple resistors as R1, R2, and R3.

Arrange the text as shown.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| <div style="color:#ff0000;"></div>

Draw => Inputs and Sources => Add Voltage Source
Right-click =>Swap Terminal

Right Click => Edit..
|| Next, we have to add the DC power supply.

Click on '''Draw''', go to''' Inputs and Sources.'''

Then select '''Add Voltage Source (2-terminal).'''

Refer to the circuit diagram shown above to check the polarity of the DC power supply.

To change the polarity, right-click on the source and select the '''Swap Terminal''' option.

Notice the change in the polarity of the power supply.

The default value of this power supply is 5 volts.

For our circuit, we need the DC power supply to be 12 Volts.

To change the value of the power supply, right-click on the power supply.

Select '''Edit '''option. Change the value from 5 to 12 in the given box as shown.

Click on the '''OK '''button to save the changes.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| Draw => Passive Components => Add Switch
|| We also need a switch to turn ON and OFF the circuit.

In the '''Draw '''menu, select''' Passive components''', and then select '''Add switch'''.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| <div style="color:#ff0000;"></div>

Draw => Outputs and Labels => Add Ammeter
|| We need to add an ammeter to calculate the current flowing in the circuit.

In the '''Draw '''menu, go to''' Outputs and Labels''', and select '''Add Ammeter''' option.

Place the ammeter between the resistor and the switch as shown.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| Connect the circuit using wire
|| We have all the required components in the work area.

Now let's connect the components using wires.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| Draw => Add Wire
|| From the '''Draw''' menu, select '''Add wire.'''

Connect the ammeter to the switch as shown.
Connect the R3 resistor to the power supply to complete the circuit.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| Point to yellow dots
|| Observe the yellow dots, indicating the current flow direction in the circuit.

Observe the current reading across the ammeter.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"

|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
||

|| <div style="color:#000000;">Let us change the resistor R2 value from 1 Kilo Ohm to 3 Kilo Ohms.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Notice the change in the value of the current flowing through these resistors.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">In a series circuit:</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">- The current flowing through each resistor is same</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">- The sum of voltage drops across each resistor is almost equal to the applied DC power supply. </div>

In a circuit where resistors are connected in series

|| Analogy

(show it with the circuit break in both series and parallel diagrams)
|| Parallel connection circuits are used to connect multiple electrical appliances.

E.g. Home, Industrial area

Let us find out the reason behind this.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
| style="color:#ff0000;" |
|| Let us first take an example of a series connection circuit.

Assume there are three LEDs connected in series instead of three resistors.

Three LEDs are denoted with L1, L2, L3 respectively.

Assume that, L2 LED gets broken or is faulty.

To implement this condition, we will remove the L2 LED from the circuit.

This will result in the circuit not completing its path.

So the current is not flowing through the circuit as shown here.
|- style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"
|| Show Parallel connection circuit with disconnected 2nd resistor

|| Assume that three LEDs L1, L2, L3 are connected in a parallel circuit.

Let us take the same faulty L2 LED example, as shown in the series circuit.

Remove the L2 LED from the circuit.

Notice that the current still flows through the L1 and L3 LEDs.

In a parallel circuit, if one component is faulty, the rest of the circuit keeps working smoothly.
