Series Resistance.png |
We will create this series resistor circuit for demonstration.
For this circuit we require:
|
| Let us open the circuitjs interface. | |
| First, we will create a simulation circuit for the resistors connected in series. | |
| 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. |
|
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. |
| 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. |
|
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. |
| Connect the circuit using wire | We have all the required components in the work area.
Now let's connect the components using wires. |
| 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. |
| Point to yellow dots | Observe the yellow dots, indicating the current flow direction in the circuit.
Observe the current reading across the ammeter. |
| Place the mouse cursor on a particular component to get its characteristics.
Place the mouse cursor on resistor R3. | |
| Notice the block at the bottom of your screen representing its values.
It shows the resistor value as 1 Kilo Ohm.
Voltage drop is 4 Volts and it is denoted by Vd.
Current flowing through the resistor is 4 milli-Amperes.
Power denoted by P is 16 milli-Watt.
| |
| Let us change the resistor R2 value from 1 Kilo Ohm to 3 Kilo Ohms.
Notice the change in the value of the current flowing through these resistors.
In a series circuit:
- The current flowing through each resistor is same
- The sum of voltage drops across each resistor is almost equal to the applied DC power supply.

Observe the current reading across the Ammeter in the circuit.
The sum of all three ammeters connected in parallel equals the ammeter connected in the circuit.
Notice the current flowing and voltage drop at each resistor. | |
| Slide: Assignment
Parallel Resistance
|
As an assignment,
|
| Compare Series and Parallel Resistor circuit.
|
Let us compare the series and parallel circuits.
In a circuit where resistors are connected in series
In a circuit where resistors are connected in parallel
|
| 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. |
| 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. | |
| 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. |
| This brings us to the end of the tutorial. Let us summarize. | |
