RESISTORS

We had  to choose 6 type of resisitors, then using the resistor colour band  and using the chart bellow we  found out the resistance of the resistors in Ohm's(Ω), and checking the resistors tolerance, then using a multimeter to check that the calculations we did were correct . Then we took two resistors and wired them into series to meausure the total resistance of the resistors in series, then we wired them up into parallel to and measure the resistance and the total resistance should be lower than the lowest resistance because more consumers are added into a parallel cicuit and the resistance goes down and the current goes up, but in the series circuit they only have one path to follow because they go through all the resistors creating higher resistance making less current flow.
