Experiment # 06
Title:
Study of Power DC Circuit
Objective:
1. To understand the basis for measuring the power in dc circuit with voltmeter and an ammeter.
2. To calculate the power in dc circuit by using the relationship of the current, the voltage and the
resistance.

Theory:
In any dc circuit, the value of the power accruing on the load is equal to the total values of the
current square which is multiplied by the resistance of the load. The equation can be expressed as
P=I2 *R
When P= is the Power (Watts, W).
I= is the Current (Amps, A).
R= is the Resistance (Ohms, Ω).

Materials Required
 Multi meter
 Experimental Kit : Electronic Trainer EES-21-305
 Resistor: 10 Ω, 100 Ω, 1 K Ω
 Bulb Light : 12V , 3W
 Line cords

Procedure:
1. Power in dc circuit
1.1 Connect the circuit of Fig. below and adjust the voltage of the supply to 0 V.

1.2 Use the first multi meter measuring a direct current setting at 250mA range to connect in
circuit.
1.3 Connect the second multi meter measuring a direct voltage setting at 50 V range to measure the
voltage drop across a light bulb (V2).
1.4 Switch on S1. Adjust the voltage of the source VT to 0,2,4,6,2,10 and 12 V , then read the
current through the ammeter and the voltage VL. Record the results in Table 1.
1.5 Calculate the power of the light bulb (PL) by the multiplying the measured values of I and VL in
step 1.4 together as the equation, PL = I * VL. Record the computed values of PL in table 1
1.6 From the circuit in Fig. 5-3, compute the current flowing through and the voltage drop across
the light bulb when the source voltage of 0.12V. Record the result in Table 5-3.
1.7 Remove the source from the circuit in Fig. 5-3 and use a multi meter to measure the resistance
of the 12V 3W light bulb.

2.2 Use Ohm’s law to calculate the total current (I T) of the circuit in Fig. 2 and the power value on
R1, R2 and R3 using the equation, P = I2 *R,
2.3 Switch off S1 and set a multi meter measuring the direct current at the measured of range of 25
mA. Then switch on S1, read the current flowing in the circuit through a multi meter,
2.4 Use a multi meter then set the dc voltage range at 10V to measure the voltage drop across R1,
R2 and R3. In measuring, make sure that the positive and the negative terminals of a multi meter
are on the positions as shown in Fig. 2
2.5 Calculate the current on R1 , R2 and R3 by using the measured current in step 2.2 and the
measured values of the voltage drop across R1 , R2 and R3 in step 2.3, using the equation ,
P=VI,
2.6 Remove the supply from the circuit and use the multi meter to measure the resistance of R1 , R2
and R3. Record the result of the parameters below.

Conclusion:

 We concluded from this experiment that there is a minor error between our
calculated and measured values and our calculated value is more appropriate.
