These magnets, with ratings of tens of kilowatts, possess considerable stored magnetic energy, and it is therefore essential to provide a discharge resistor to
Instead, they functioned only as resistance, admitting more (parallel) or less (series) current into the small electromagnet's windings
We list calculated values of dynamic parameters and characteristics of the electromagnet in a circuit with a balance resistor 1 Introduction
electromagnetic energy may be discharged from the electromagnet winding to a ballasting resistor is switched on when the capacitor voltage uC comes up to
seen the electromagnet---it's the small coil of wire visible through the clear Be sure to use a 330 Ohm resistor to connect to power as shown below
We begin our study of AC circuits by examining the characteristics of a circuit containing a source of emf and one other circuit element: a resistor, a
In this paper, a method to design a forced armor plunger elec- tromagnet in a circuit with a ballast resistor has been proposed This technique makes it
To measure the magnetic field of the electromagnet take out the Hall Probe (InAs) from the jacket/ compartment of Gaussmeter and push back the SS cover 3 Push

EXPERIMENT 13 THE INVESTIGATION
CSEC OBJECTIVE (S): Section D t Objectives 4.1-4.5
Grade Level - 9
What you need
micro-electricity kit, two multimeters
What to do
TO INVESTIGATE
1. Use components from your microelectricity kit to set up the circuit shown in the diagram on the
right. You may remove (or add) resistors to this circuit as you work through the tasks.
Task 1 Investigate what happens to:
a) the total current in the circuit, when a different number of resistors are connected in parallel and b) the current in each resistor connected in the circuit.
Task 2 Investigate what happens to:
a) the potential difference supplied by the source of power and b) the potential difference across each resistor connected in the circuit.
Task 3 Investigate what happens to the total resistance (V/I), in the circuit, as you add more resistors in
parallel.
Record your measurements and observations.
SUMMARISE
2. Summarise what have you discovered in this Activity, about
a) the current in a parallel circuit, b) the potential difference across components in a parallel circuit and c) the total resistance of a parallel circuit.
COMPARE SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS
3. a) Compare the current in a parallel and in a series circuit and explain the differences. b) Compare the potential difference across components in a parallel and in a series circuit. c) Compare the total resistance in a parallel and in a series circuit. d) What happens when you remove one component from either a series or a parallel circuit?
Explain.
