Experiment # 3: Parallel Circuit

A parallel circuit is defined by the fact that all components share two common nodes. The voltage is the same across all components and will equal the applied source voltage. The total supplied current may be found by dividing the voltage source by the equivalent parallel resistance. It may also be found by summing the currents in all of the branches. The current through any resistor branch may be found by dividing the source voltage by the resistor value.

Build the circuit above with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k and E = 8 volts, determine the theoretical voltages at points A, B, and C with respect to ground. Set the DMM to read DC voltage and measure the voltages at points A, B, and C with respect to ground.
