The experiment examined the loading effect of a voltage divider circuit by comparing theoretical calculations with practical output voltage measurements. Results showed a close agreement between theoretical and practical values, with percentage errors ranging from 0.40% to 0.77%, indicating the theoretical model's effectiveness. Recommendations for improving accuracy include using higher tolerance resistors, careful placement of measurement equipment, and applying shielding techniques to reduce stray capacitance and inductance.

In this experiment, we investigated the loading effect of a voltage


divider circuit by comparing theoretical calculations with practical
measurements of the output voltage (Vout ) under various load resistor
conditions.
 Comparison of Theoretical and Practical Values:
The comparison between theoretical and practical values of Vout
revealed a close agreement between the two sets of data. The
theoretical calculations, based on the modified voltage divider formula,
accurately predicted the behaviour of the circuit under different load
conditions. Despite minor issues, the percentage error remained within
acceptable limits, ranging from 0.40% to 0.77%. This indicates that the
theoretical model effectively captures the loading effect of the circuit.
 Evaluation of the loading effect :
The loading effect, occurs by a decrease in Vout with increasing load
resistor was observed consistently across all experimental
measurements. As expected, the measured Vout was slightly lower than
the calculated Vout for each load resistor value. This decrease is due to
the additional current drawn by the load resistor, which alters the
voltage division across the circuit.
 Recommendation for improvement :
To increase the accuracy onto the experiment several steps can be
taken. Using resistors with higher tolerance and carefully place the
measurement equipment to minimize the error .Furthermore ,
shielding techniques can be applied to reduce the influence of
stray capacitance and inductance , ensuring more accurate
results .
