Experiment 3 - Parallel Circuit

This document outlines an experiment on parallel circuits. The objective is to prove relationships of voltage, current, power and Ohm's law, and compare calculated to measured values. The apparatus includes a multimeter, power supply, leads, circuit board, and resistors. The procedure involves constructing a circuit with three resistors, calculating theoretical voltages and currents, measuring voltages and currents, and recording results in tables to determine the percent deviation between theory and measurement.

EXPERIMENT 3

PARALLEL CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVE:
1. Prove the relationship voltage, current, power & Ohm’s Law
2. Compare the calculation between the theory and practical of current , voltage &
application of Ohm’s Law.

APPARATUS:
1. Digital Multimeter
2. Power Supply
3. Connecting Leads
4. Circuit Board
5. Resistor: 1kΩ , 2.2kΩ , 3.3kΩ

PROCEDURE:

1. Using the circuit of Figure 1 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k and E = 8 volts,


determine the theoretical voltages at points A, B, and C with respect to
ground. Record these values in Table 1. Construct the circuit. Set the DMM to
read DC voltage and apply it to the circuit from point A to ground. The red
lead should be placed at point A and the black lead should be connected to
ground. Record this voltage in Table 1. Repeat the measurements at points B
and C.

2. Apply Ohm’s law to determine the expected currents through R1 and R2.
Record these values in the theory column of Table 2. Also determine and
record the total current.

3. Set the DMM to measure DC current. Remember, current is measured at a


single point and requires the meter to be inserted in-line. To measure the
total supplied current place the DMM between points A and B. The red lead
should be placed closer to the positive source terminal. Record this value in
Table 2. Repeat this process for the currents through R1 and R2. Determine
the percent deviation between theoretical and measured for each of the
currents and record these in the final column of Table 2.
