Lab 2: KVL, and Voltage Divider Rule using Series Circuit

Objectives:

• Learn how to connect a series circuit on a breadboard.


• Validate the voltage divider rules.
• Verify Kirchhoff’s voltage law.

List of Components:
i. Trainer board
ii. Resistors (3.3 KΩ, 4.7 KΩ, 5.6K)
iii. Digital Multimeter (DMM)
iv. Connecting Wire

Circuit Diagram:

Circuit 2

Procedure:

1. Identify the given resistors using color coding and fill in the required columns in Table 1.
2. Measure the resistances of the resistors using the DMM and fill in the required column in Table 1.
3. Calculate the percentage error of the resistance values.
Percentage Error ={ |(Theoretical-Experimental)| / Theoretical value}*100%
4. Build the circuit of Fig 11.
5. Using the DMM, find the potential differences across the source VS and resistors R1, R2 and R3. Record
the readings in Table 2.
6. Fill in Table 3.
7. Measure Vab. Calculate Vab using voltage division rule. Note down values in Table 4.
8. Now, disconnect the voltage source from the circuit and measure the total load resistance, Req of the
circuit using DMM. Note down values in Table 4.

Report
Experiment 2:
1. State the voltage division rule.
2. State the Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL).
3. Showing all steps, calculate the theoretical values in Table 2. Compare theoretical values to your
experimental values and explain whether your circuit follows KVL or not.
4. Showing all the calculations, theoretically calculate Vab. Compare with the experimental value and verify
the voltage division rule at the terminal a-b.
5. Showing all the steps, calculate Req. Compare with the experimental value.

Useful Formula:

Voltage Divider Rule: VX = E RX / RT


% Error = (Theoretical value – Experimental Value) / Theoretical Value
