    This experiment aims to verify Kirchhoff's voltage law and the voltage divider rule using a series circuit. Measurements of voltage and current will be taken at various points in the circuit using a voltmeter, ammeter, and multimeter. The total resistance of the circuit will be calculated and compared to measured values to test KVL and the voltage divider rule. Students are to record readings in a table and comment on any discrepancies between calculated and measured values.

    EEE 010 (02) / ETE 010 (02)

    Course Code: EEE 1102 / EEE 102 / ETE 102


    Course Title: Electrical Circuits I Lab
    Experiment No: 03
    Experiment Name: Verification of KVL & Voltage Divider Rule

    OBJECTIVE:

    This experiment is intended to verify Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) and voltage divider rule with
    the help of series circuits and derive equivalent resistance of the series circuit both experimentally
    and analytically.

    THEORY:

    KVL states that around any closed circuit the sum of the voltage rises equals the sum of the voltage
    drops.
     VRISES =  VDROPS

    The voltage divider rule is given by


    RX
    VX   VS
    RS
    The equivalent (total) resistance of a series circuit is given by

    RS = RX = R1 + R2 + R3
    Where X= 1, 2 & 3

    APPARATUS:

     Three Rheostat /Resistance box (100Ω or less than 100Ω)


     Multimeter as Voltmeter
     Ammeter
     DC power supply
     Wires

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Connect three rheostats/ resistance box R1, R2 and R3 in series through a SPST switch to a DC
    power supply as shown in fig.
    2. Apply 30 V DC from DC power supply

    3. Set the rheostat /resistance box at the fixed value and take readings of V1, V2, V3, VS using a
    voltmeter, I using an ammeter and R1, R2, R3 using a multimeter. Vary the rheostat /resistance
    box in such a way that ammeter reading does not exceed the current rating of any of the
    rheostat /resistance box. Take at least 5 sets of reading and enter it in the table.

    4. Verify KVL (i.e. VS=V1+V2+V3) for each set of data. Find total resistance of the series circuit
    using the formula RS =R1+R2+R3. Compare this with experimentally obtained value RS=VS/I.
    Verify voltage divider for each set of data.

    REPORT:

    1. Show the results in tabular form.


    2. Comment on the results obtained and discrepancies (if any).

    CAUTIONS:

    1. Take care of the reading of the apparatus.


    2. Take care of any bare circuit element in energized condition.

    QUESTION:

    1. State the rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit.


    2. If an ammeter is connected in parallel across an element what could be the possible danger.
    3. “KVL is a restatement of the law of the conservation of energy”— justify the statement.
    4. Why rheostats have current ratings in addition to resistance ratings?

    5. “KVL is applicable for open circuit too”—verify.
