Physics Coursework James Taylor 11MA An Investigation of Resistors In Series and Parallel Aim The aim of this experiment is to find how resistance changes in a circuit containing bulbs in series or parallel and how they are related. For this experiment I will need knowledge of electricity and physics. A famous physicist Ohm made an important discovery. Known as Ohms law, from his discovery he stated that: 'the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends provided that the temperature is constant'. In equation form this is: R = V/I. From his discovery we are know able to work out the resistance of a circuit from knowing the voltage across the circuit and the current flowing (amps). After his discovery the units with which we measure resistance were named after him - Ohms, the symbol for which is the Greek letter omega (?). Plan...
