ETron Circuit Labs*** CAUTION ***DO NOT connect the meter to Ohms with the batter connect to the circuit as it will cause damage to the meter.Lab 35 Resistors in SeriesObjective:In this Lab you will observe the behavior of resistors in series.Step 1 – Take InventoryUsing the Parts Inventory as shown on the right under the “Here’s What You’ll Need” section, place each part needed for this experiment on its corresponding drawing. Observe the schematic symbol for each part. Make sure that you have all the parts ready before you begin Step 2.Step 2 – Build the CircuitUsing the Schematic Diagram and the picture of the completed lab, build the lab experiment with the electronic components, and then proceed to Step 3.Step 3 –Theory:In this simple electronic circuit, the electrons flow from the battery, through the LED, through the 3 resistors, and back to the battery, The total resistance in the circuit is the sum of the 3 resistors, or 3K Ohms. The formula is Total Resistance = Resistor 1 plus Resistor..3000 Ω68
