THEORY:
The Voltage Divider Rule (VDR) states that the voltage across an element or across a
series combination of elements in a series circuit is equal to the resistance of the element or
series combination of elements divided by the total resistance of the series circuit and
multiplied by the total impressed voltage:

The Current Divider Rule (CDR) states that the current through one of two parallel
branches is equal to the resistance of the other branch divided by the sum of the resistances
of the two parallel branches and multiplied by the total current entering the two parallel
branches.  That is,

PROCEDURE:

SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT

 Connect the circuit according to circuit diagram.


 Set the Dc supply to 5V by using DMM. Pick the resistances having values 220Ω, 100Ω
and 100Ω.Also verify their resistance by using DMM.
 Calculate the total resistance RT and total current IT.
 Measure current & voltage across each resistor with DMM and record it in the Table.

PARALLEL-SERIES CIRCUIT

 Connect the circuit according to circuit diagram.


 Set the Dc supply to 5V by using DMM. Pick the resistances having values 220Ω, 100Ω
and 100Ω.Also verify their resistance by using DMM.
 Measure voltage drop across each resistor with DMM and record it in the Table.
 Compute total current IT.
