 PRE-LAB WORK

In this when we will solve the circuit, we will get resistance of 37.65Ω
Now, in order to find current, we will use the formula I=V\R
I=V\R
I=15\37.65
I=0.4A
To find vo we will use for formula
Vo=V*R1\R1+R2+R3
Vo=3.18V.

Conclusion:
In this lab we developed understanding about calculating current in series and parallel circuit, and to find
out the resistance and equivalent resistance in different circuits such as series, parallel, and combinations
of series and parallel circuits.
