Title: Introduction to Circuit Elements and Variables.


Objectives:
1. To get familiar with circuit variables (Voltage and Current) and circuit elements ( Voltage
source and resistance).
2. To learn how to measure dc voltage across a circuit element using voltmeter.
3. To learn how to measure dc current through a circuit element using an ammeter.
4. To learn how to measure resistance of a resistor using a multimeter.
5. To verify Ohm’s Law.
Theory: In electric circuit elements are two types one is active elements and another one is
passive elements. An active element is which supplies energy. A voltage source or a battery is
an example of an active element. On the other hand a passive element is which absorbs energy.
A resistor can be a passive element. There are two fundamental circuit variables one is current
through a circuit element and another one is voltage across a circuit element. The current
through a circuit element is measured using the unit Ampere and the voltage is measured using
Voltage unit. In fig 1 we can see a simple circuit. Here E is the emf of the battery and the
resistance of the resistor is R. The current passing through the circuit is I and it remains same.
The voltage drop across the resistor is exactly equal to the emf of the battery. We can use the
Ohm’s law which state that V=IR. If we plot V vs I (taking I as an independent variable), we have
a straight line passing through the origin and R will be the slope of that line

In Fig-2, an ammeter is connected in series with an element, through which current is


measured. On the other hand a voltmeter is connected in parallel with an element to measure
the voltage. If we connect a ammeter in parallel with an element, the ammeter will be
damaged. If we connect a voltmeter in series with an element, it will not give us the correct
result. So, we need to make sure that an ammeter is not connected in parallel and a voltmeter
is not connected in series.

answer:
For E=5, I=E/R
R=1000 Ohm
So, I=5/1000 = 5mA.
For E=6, I=E/R R=1000
Ohm
So, I=6/1000 = 6mA
For E=7, I=E/R R=1000
Ohm
So, I=7/1000 = 7mA
For E=8, I=E/R R=1000
Ohm
So, I=8/1000 = 8mA
For E=9, I=E/R R=1000
Ohm
So, I=9/1000 = 9mA
For E=10, I=E/R
R=1000 Ohm

So, I=10/1000 = 10mA

Post lab report answers:

1. Theoretically calculating the value of I using measured values of V and R.


For V=4.7 and R=0.98K
I=V/R, I=4.7/0.98 = 4.7mA and the measured value is 4.8
For V=5.8 and R= 0.98K
I=V/R, I=5.8/0.98 = 5.91 and the measured value is 5.90.979
For V=6.8 and R=0.98K
I=V/R, I=6.8/0.98 = 6.93mA and the measured value is 6.9
For V=7.8and R= 0.98K
I=V/R, I=7.8/0.98 = 7.95 and the measured value is 7.9
For V=8.8 and R=0.98K
I=V/R, I=8.8/0.98 = 8.97mA and the measured value is 8.9
For V=9.8 and R= 0.98K
I=V/R, I=9.8/0.98 = 10 and the measured value is 9.9
The difference between the theoretical value and the measured value is almost near.

2. Theoretically calculating the values of R from the measured values of V and I using Ohm’s
law.
For V=4.7V and I=4.8mA
R=V/I, R=4.7/4.8 = 0.979K
For V=5.8V and I=5.9mA
R=V/I, R=5.8/5.9 = 0.983K
For V=6.8V and I=6.9mA
R=V/I, R=6.8/6.9 = 0.985K
For V=7.8V and I=7.9mA
R=V/I, R=7.8/7.9 = 0.987K
For V=8.8 and I=8.9mA
R=V/I, R=8.8/8.9 = 0.988k
For V=9.8 and I=9.9mA
R=V/I, R=9.8/9.9 = 0.989k
The measured value of R is 0.98k, which is almost similar with the measured value. So, that
means there is no experimental error here.

3. The set value of E is 5,6,7,8,9,10 and the measured value of V for E is following 4.7, 5.8,
6.8, 7.8, 8.8, 9.8. Here is a difference between E and V. Here might be some calculation
error and also experimental error at the time of taking the reading of V from the circuit.

V I

From this V vs I graph if we fit a straight line from the origin we can see that the line cross
from the (9.8,10) point. If we find the slope for that point then that will be the R.
So, R=V/I
=9.8/10 =0.98K
Which is also our measured value.
5. A multi-range meter, often called a multimeter, is an essential tool for measuring electrical
quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance. Multimeters can be either digital or analog.
They have multiple ranges that allow for the measurement of these quantities over a wide range
of values.
