    Linear Circuit Analysis Lab Lab 3

    Implementation of Series circuit and Verification of Kirchhoff’s Voltage


    Law

    Objectives

    This laboratory exercise is meant to enable the students to implement Series circuit and verify
    the Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law; and correlate measured values with the theoretical calculations
    through various circuit elements.

    Lab Instructions

    This lab activity comprises of three parts: Pre-lab, Lab Exercises, and Post-Lab Viva session.
    The students should perform and demonstrate each lab task separately for step-wise evaluation
    (please ensure that course instructor/lab engineer has signed each step after ascertaining its
    functional verification)
    Only those tasks that completed during the allocated lab time will be credited to the students.
    Students are however encouraged to practice on their own in spare time for enhancing their
    skills.

    Lab Equipment

    The following equipment would be used in this experiment:

    Pre-lab

    Before coming to the lab, students must study and practice the dividers rules. Also review the
    theoretical concepts relating voltage divider.
    Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law

    Kirchhoff’s voltage law is based on energy conservation and states that the algebraic sum
    of the potential (voltage) drops around a complete path is equal to zero. For example, in the
    circuit shown in figure 3.1, the relations between the circuit elements and resistances for the path
    ABCDA is:

    Voltage Divider Rule

    The Voltage Divider Rule (VDR) states that the voltage across an element or across a series
    combination of elements in a series circuit is equal to the resistance of the element or series
    combination of elements divided by the total resistance of the series circuit and multiplied by the
    total impressed voltage. That is,

    Figure 3.2: Example circuit to illustrate the experiment

    𝑉𝑎 = (2)

    𝑉𝑏 = (3)

    𝑉𝑐 = (4)

    It should be noted that this expression is only valid if all the resistors are connected in series i.e.
    same current I flows through all the resistors.

    CAUTION

    Do not switch on power till you have gotten your circuit checked by your teacher /lab
    attendant.

    PROCEDURE

    For the circuit given in figure 3.2 use VDR to measure and calculate
    1. Circuit setup on bread board.
    2. Calculate the currents and voltages in the various circuit elements.
    3. Use the DMM as an ammeter and voltmeter to measure the various currents and voltages.
    4. Explain deviations in results in case these are encountered during the experiment.
    5. Fill in Table 3.2.
