Objective: Measure voltage and current in circuits featuring resistors in series and in parallel
Kirchhoff’s laws are of key importance for calculating current and voltage in various parts of a circuit with multiple branches. In this experiment, Kirchhoff’s laws will be verified by measuring voltage and current in various parts of circuits featuring resistors in series and parallel.
