Purpose: The Purpose of this report is to inform one about opens and shorts in a series-parallel circuit and their effects on individual voltages (E)and currents (I). INTRODUCTION: In this lab experiment, it was proven that in an open circuit, there is infinate resistance (ohms), which would limit practically all current from following the circuits path. It has also been shown that in the case of an shorted circuit, there is minimal resistance, therefore, maximun current is allowed to flow. Also, in combination curcuits, an open or a short in one branch can alter the current, resistance, and voltages throughout the remainder of he circuit. This experiment was designed to verify the following;
