DC Fundamentals Unit 10 – Power in DC Circuits
Exercise 1 – Power in a Series Resistive Circuit ......................................................................
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to determine the power dissipated in a
series resistive circuit by using a power formula. You will verify your results with a multimeter.
EXERCISE DISCUSSION
- Total power dissipated in a series circuit is the sum of the power dissipated by each resistor
in the circuit.
