The equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel
Excellent measurements and calculations by Ethan, Natalia, and Roselie. Congrats!
I = I (R)

| The experimental data was collected by Aneta, Anette, Ashlee, Jocelyn, Julia, Lanyse, and Mitchelle
In this lab, students measure current generated by a 1.5V battery in a simple circuit with various resistors. The horizontal axis shows resistance [ohm] and the vertical one shows current [milli-amp]. The colorful dots represent measurements and the green line shows the theoretical line of an equation I = V / R, or, using the math notation, y = 1.5 / x. You can see that the measurements fit the theoretical line perfectly well (small error bars are not visible here).
GOOD JOB! |
