Notice that this is not the largest resistance value in the circuit. Only in a simple series circuit
the largest resistance value dissipates the most power. Also notice that it is not the smallest
resistance value in the circuit. Only in a simple parallel circuit the smallest resistance value
dissipates the most power. This proves that power distribution in a series-parallel circuit
depends on the electrical ______________________ of the component being considered.
4. Swap R3 and R4. Use voltage measurements to determine if the powers dissipated by each of
the resistances have changed.
Are the results the same or different? ______________________
Obviously the ______________________ location of the components is not important but
the ______________________ location determines the distribution of power in a
series-parallel combination circuit.
