Physics ~4 minequivalent resistance, series and parallel, Ohm’s law

Remove a resistor, and the reading goes up?

A meter reads 232 Ω across a resistor network. Disconnect one resistor. Will the reading rise, fall or stay the same?

The idea behind this lab (open after you’ve tried it)

Parallel routes share the current. Take one away and the remaining path carries it all, so the total resistance rises.

Go deeper than one lab.

A full quest builds the idea step by step, with checks and a new case to apply it to.
