Practice: Determine the total resistance of each of the following parallel circuits. Then use the Gizmo to check your answer. (You can calculate the total resistance from the current and voltage using Ohm’s law, or use the Ohmmeter to measure the resistance directly.) A parallel circuit with a 20-ohm resistor and a 10-ohm resistor. A parallel circuit with two 20-ohm resistors and a 10-ohm resistor. A parallel circuit with a 15-ohm light bulb and a 20-ohm resistor. A parallel circuit with two 100-ohm resistors and a 20-ohm resistor. A parallel circuit with a 10-ohm, 20-ohm, 100-ohm and 200-ohm resistor.

A simple circuit can be created using a voltage source of some form, let's say a battery, and a load, something that converts electrical energy into some other form of energy. An example of a load might be the thin wire filament in a light bulb, where the electrical energy is being converted into thermal energy and light energy. The resistance is a property of the load that determines how much current flows through the load. Ohm's Law relates the...
