3 Verification of KVL And KCL


Aim:
To verify Kirchoffs Voltage Law and Kirchoffs Current Law.

Apparatus Required:
KVL & KCL Trainer Kit and Patch cords.
Theory:
KVL states that the algebraic sum of voltages around the closed loop is zero or the
sum of voltage rise is equal to the sum of voltage drop in the circuit.
KCL states that the algebraic sum of currents meeting at a node is zero or sum of the
entering current at a node is equal to sum of leaving current at the same node.

Procedure:

KVL:
1. Connect the circuit as per the above circuit diagram(1) in the trainer kit.
2. Switch on the trainer kit.
3. Set the input voltage and note down the voltage drop across the resistors R1 and R2.
4. Verify the applied voltage equals the sum of voltage drops across the resistors.
5. Also, note down the current reading.
6. Repeat the steps (3) to (5) for different set of input voltages.

KCL:
1. Connect the circuit as per the above circuit diagram(2) in the trainer kit.
2. Switch on the trainer kit.
3. Set the input voltage and note down the total current (IT) in the ammeter.
4. Now replace the ammeter in the circuit between R1 and R2 to measure the current I1.
5. Similarly replace the ammeter in the circuit between R3 and R4 to measure the current I2.
6. Verify the total current equals the sum of currents I1 and I2.
7. Repeat the steps (3) to (6) for different set of input voltages.
