Lab Report: Course Title

1) The document is a lab report submitted by Abida Sultana Ave for an Electrical Circuits Lab course. The experiment aimed to verify Kirchhoff's Current Law and the Current Divider Rule by measuring currents in a circuit with three resistors connected in parallel. 2) Experimental data was collected for circuits with varying resistor values and voltages. The total measured current matched the calculated total current using KCL and CDR formulas. 3) In conclusion, the student verified KCL and CDR as the theoretical and measured currents were equal, achieving the goal of the experiment.

Report Answers:
Answer 01: Consider three resister R1, R2, R3 are connected in parallel.
So, the potential difference across all resister is same and the total current
in the circuit is the sum of current through each resister.
i.e. I = I1 + I2 + I3………. (1)
By Ohms Law,
I = V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3……... (2)
Let Rp is the equivalent resistance of the parallel connection.
From (1) & (2),
V/Rp = V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3
1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Answer 02:
Node: The point through which a circuit element is connected to the
circuit is called node. It is better to say, node is a point where, terminal of
two or more circuit elements are connected together.
Junction: Junction is the point in a circuit at which at least three elements
(active or passive) are joined.
Branch: Any of the circuit elements, when connected to the circuit, it is
definitely connected between two nodes of the circuit. When an element
exists between two nodes, the path from one node to another through this
element is called branch of the circuit.
Mesh: A 'mesh' is simply a path through a circuit that starts and ends at
the same place. It is also called as loop.

Answer 03:
Voltmeter: The instrument which measures the voltage or potential
difference in volts is known as the voltmeter. It works on the principle
that the torque is generated by the current which induces because of
measured voltage and this torque deflects the pointer of the instrument.
The deflection of the pointer is directly proportional to the potential
difference between the points. The voltmeter is always connected in
parallel with the circuit.

Ammeter: The meter uses for measuring the current is known as the
ammeter. The current is the flow of electrons whose unit is ampere. Hence
the instrument which measures the flows of current in ampere is known
as ampere meter or ammeter.
The ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance. But practically the
ammeter has small internal resistance. The measuring range of the
ammeter depends on the value of resistance.
The ammeter is connected in series with the circuit so that the whole
electrons of measurand current passes through the ammeter. The power
loss occurs in ammeter because of the measurand current and their internal
resistance. The ammeter circuit has low resistance so that the small
voltage drop occurs in the circuit.
Multimeter:
A multimeter or a multi tester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-
milliammeter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines
several measurement functions in one unit. A typical multimeter can
measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog multimeters use
a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings. Digital
multimeters (DMM, DVOM) have a numeric display, and may also show
a graphical bar representing the measured value. Digital multimeters have
rendered analog multimeters obsolete, because they are now lower cost,
higher precision, and more physically robust.

Rheostat:
Rheostat is a type of variable resistor, whose resistance can be changed so
as to change the amount of current flowing through a circuit.
It has two terminals, out of which one is fixed and the other one is a
moving terminal. Some rheostats have three terminals just like
potentiometer, although only two terminals are used (Only one of the two
fixed terminals and the moving terminal are used).

Discussion:
1. Today our target was verification of Kirchhoff’s Current Law
(KCL) & Current divider rule (CDR). We reach our target.

2. We make a table of power supply, three different resistance and their


current according to practical circuit and we also find out current of
those resistance using mathematical equation.
3. Our theoretical and practical measurement is same.
