Lab # 1 DC Measurement: Objective

This lab experiment aims to measure DC voltage, current and resistance using a digital multimeter. It simulates two circuits in Multisim and measures the voltage and current values. It then builds the circuits and measures the actual resistor values and voltages/current in the circuits. The measured results are compared to calculated and simulated data to verify circuit laws like Ohm's law, voltage divider rule and Kirchhoff's voltage law. Conclusions are made based on the comparisons.
