Experiment 3: Student name: Jordyn Kaliszewski Pre-lab section: 1) Introduction: Explain the theory behind this experiment in a paragraph between 150 and 250 words. (1.5 Points) For experiment 3, it is important to understand some basic concepts. These concepts include; what is electricity? What is a current? What is a resistor? It’s also important to understand electric potential/tension, Ohm’s Law, and series connection/parallel connection. As stated in the theory, the movement of electrons through a material is what we might call electricity. The number of electrons flowing through a selected area in a second is the simplest definition of current. The primary function of a resistor in an electrical circuit is to counteract resistance to electric current. This substance slows down electrons while current flows through it, lowering the strength of the current. The work of the electrical force on a charged particle divided by its value is known as the electrical potential, or tension in an electrical circuit. For Ohm’s law it is important to know three functions; 𝑉 = 𝑅𝐼 , 𝑅 = 𝑉 𝐼 , 𝐼 = 𝑉 𝑅 . A single "electrical path" connects components connected in series. Components connected in parallel are linked via several pathways. 2) Hypothesis: In an If /Then statement, highlight the purpose of the experiment. (1 point) If two resistors are linked in series, then all resistors experience the same current flow.
