Discussion
Based on Superposition Theorem, to ascertain the contribution of each individual
source, all of the other sources first must be "turned off" (set to zero).
As we can see the result in practical, the current flow in each resistor is different.
I1a in 6V is 14.36mA and I1b in 9V is 18.49mA.
I2a in 6V is 5.39mA and I2b in 9V is 4.82mA
I3a in 6V is 9.05mA and I3b in 9V is 13.55mA.
And the voltage drop in each resistor also will be different.
V1a in 6V is 2.93V and V1b in 9V is 6.18V.
V2a in 6V is 3.04V and V2b in 9V is 2.76V.
V3a in 6V is 3.04V and V3b in 9V is 2.76V.
As the precautions,the experiment is carried out without necessary delay in
the process to prevent the wire from heating up which would increased the resistance
of the circuit. As a result, it would affecting the result of the experiment. The Voltage
supply has been checked by using multimeter to ensure the voltage supply is the
same which is 9V. Every resistor has been checked by using multimeter to ensure
that the correct resistor used before the experiment started. The resistor of R 2 and
R3 is in parallel series so the voltage measured in experiment, calculation in theory
and in EWB should be the same.
Beside that, there are some source of error. The resistors have been used
constantly for lab work, and have been exposed to regular wear and tear. That could
have altered the values of the experiment. The power supplied is not supplied
constantly. There is a voltage drop after the switch is on and off frequently when it is
checked by using multimeter. By using calculation in theory, there is an error. The
error is the decimal places problem. By using measured in experiment, there is an
error in the experiment. The error is the measured voltage and current is not fixed
due to the power supply not supplied constantly.
Therefore there are ways to improve the result, which is using a brand new
resistor, using a more accuracy DC power supply and in calculation in theory, fixed a
decimal fixed point for the calculation calculated.

Conclusion
By using superposition theorem, I can determine the current in 6V at resistor 200,I1
is 14.36mA, at 560, I2 is 5.39mA, and at 330, I 3 is 9.05mA. Whereas in 9V the
current in 330, I1 is 18.49mA, at 560,I2 is 4.82mA and at 200,I3 is 13.55mA.
By using superposition theorem, I also can determine the voltage drop in 6V at
resistor 200, V1 is 2.93V, at 560 and 330,V2 and V3 is 3.04V. Where as in 9V, at
resistor 330,V1 is 6.18V, at 560 and 200, V2 and V3 is 2.76V.

Discussion
Charge and Discharge of a Capacitor
The circuit shows a capacitor in series with a resistor and DC source. When
switch is in a, the battery will send current through the resistor and charge
the capacitor. The voltage Vc is initially zero and the voltage VR is the same as
VS, so the capacitor charges at a fast rate. As a capacitor charges, the voltage
VC increase and VR decreases and the current reduces until VC=VS. If the
switch is moved to position b, the charge rushed out of the capacitor through
the resistor, dissipating all the energy as heat until no current flows and
VC=VR=0.
On and Off in LR circuit
A LR Series Circuit consists basically of an inductor of inductance L
connected in series with a resistor of resistance R. The resistance R is the
DC resistive value of the wire turns or loops that goes into making up the
inductors coil. After a time the voltage source neutralizes the effect of the self
induced emf, the current flow becomes constant and the induced current and
field are reduced to zero.
Conclusion
In the conclusion, I was able to verify current flow in an L-R circuit and voltage
growth/drop in a C-R circuit. In the L-R circuit, when is given power supply,the
Current flow(A) in the inductor increase with Time(s). This show that the Time(s) is
proportional to the square root of Current (A) which will give out an equation of
Time ( s ) Current ( A)
flow(A) in the inductor decrease with Time(s). This show that the Time (s) is inversely
proportional to the Current flow (A) which will give out an equation of
Time ( s )

Current ( A) . In the C-R circuit, the voltage in the capacitor increase from
1.4176E-7V to 12V with time when there is given voltage.This show that the Time(s)
is proportional to the square root of Voltage (A) which will give out an equation of
Time ( s ) Voltage (V )
. When the supply has been cut off, the voltage in the
capacitor drop from 12V to 1.417E-7V with time.This show that the Time (s) is
