Electrical Circuit Lab Report 1

This lab report summarizes two electrical circuit experiments: 1. A voltage divider circuit with resistors R1, R2, and measurements of voltage and current. Theoretical and measured values matched well. 2. A KCL circuit with resistors R1, R2, R3 and calculations of current using KCL and KVL equations. Current values matched reasonably well between theoretical and measurements. The report presents the circuit diagrams, component values, equations, tables of theoretical and measured values, and conclusions on Ohm's law and KCL/KVL analysis of the circuits.

1.4 Make a i-v Relationship Graph


According to the lab experiment, I1 and I2 had the same current (I) value of

1.56mA. This is so because each resistor in a series circuit receives the same

amount of current. the voltage across each resistor is the same even when the

current through each resistor different. This is due to the fact that according to

Ohm's equation, V=IR, meaning that to calculate voltage, one must multiply the

current's value by the resistance's value. The resistors in this circuit don't have

the same amount, which is 1kΩ and 2kΩ. The voltage between each resistor is thus

1.563V and 3.437V according to Ohm's law.
