Exercise from the chapter "Resistor networks"

Parallel: the voltage

Level 1 of 5 · Skills: Know

Statement

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is...

  1. The same for all branches
  2. Shared in proportion to the resistances
  3. Larger in the most resistive branch
  4. Zero if the resistances are equal
2 hints from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

The branches join the same two nodes: they all see the same voltage.

How does it work?

The perfboard: each big hole is a circuit node. You push a single leg of a component (resistor, lamp...) into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: that is where chips and leads plug in.

  1. Drag a component onto the board: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. To join neighbouring big holes, click Jumper chip in the palette (or C) then drag on the board: a line of chips is laid at once. Bridged holes become a single node.
  3. For long links and for the power supply (placed next to the board), drag a lead from one big hole to another (or to a terminal).
  4. As soon as a loop is closed, the circuit is solved in real time (Ohm + Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
  5. Zoom with the wheel (or + / −, two-finger pinch); drag the background to pan, 0 fits the board. The + buttons around the board add a row or a column.
