    This document summarizes an electrical engineering student's laboratory experiment on power in different resistive circuits. The student measured current, voltage and calculated power dissipated in series, parallel and series-parallel resistor configurations. Data was recorded in tables and conclusions were made that parallel circuits consume the least power while series and series-parallel circuits consume the most, with power equalizing when resistances are equal. The student recommends testing equipment before use to avoid errors in data collection.

    ANALYSIS

    In the circuit board, there are 3 types of resistive circuit present and these are
    Series, Parallel and Series-Parallel. Here, the circuit is supplied with a 15 V DC
    source where measured the voltage, resistance and the current flowing in order to
    get the power dissipated in each block and put all the gathered data in the table
    presented in the data and results.

    CONCLUSION

    Therefore I conclude that, base on the experiment we performed the parallel


    circuit, the Parallel circuit block has the lowest power consumption because in the
    circuit it has different values of resistors present and the currents flowing in it are
    not equally distributed (based on the data gathered). While in the Series and Series-
    Parallel, they’ve got the highest power consumption because of different resistors
    being used. As observed, if the series and parallel has the same resistor, the power
    dissipated in parallel is greater than those in series and series-parallel circuit.

    RECOMMENDATION

    Upon performing the experiment, make sure that all the equipments are
    working and tested before operating it to avoid getting errors when gathering the
    data.
