3. Showing all steps, calculate the theoretical values in Table 2. Compare theoretical values
to your experimental values and explain whether your circuit follows KCL or not.
Ans:
= 1.788 m A
I2 = (1.44X4.098) ÷4.7
= 1.256 m A
I3 = (1.44X4.098) ÷5.6
= 1.054 m A
IS=10/2.44
=4.098mA
5. Showing all the steps, theoretically calculate Req of circuit 1. Compare with the
experimental value.
Ans:
1/R=1/R1 + 1/R2+1/ R3
R = 1.44 KΩ
Req = 1+1.44=2.44 KΩ
6. Calculate all the theoretical values for Table 5. Show all steps. 4
Ans:
IR1 = Rt/R1 × Is = 2.538 mA
VR1 = 2.538 × 1 KΩ = 2.538 V
IR2 = Rt/R2 × Is = 0.946 mA
VR2 = 0.946 × 10 KΩ = 9.46 V
IR3 = Rt/R3 × Is = 1.592 mA
VR3 = 1.592 × 4.7 KΩ = 7.48 V
IR4 = Rt/R4 × Is = 0.601 mA
VR4 = 0.601 × 3.3 KΩ = 1.983 V
IR5 = Rt/R5 × Is = 0.991 mA
VR5 = 0.991 × 1 KΩ = 0.991 V
IR6 = Rt/R6 × Is = 0.991 mA
VR6 = 0.991 × 1 KΩ = 0.991 V
7. With the experimental data, verify Kirchhoff’s voltage law in Circuit 1 within
each independent closed loop of the circuit.
Ans:
Loop 1: 8.172V = (3.519 × 1k) + (1.41 × 3.3k)
Loop 2: 8.4775V = (3.519× 1k) + (1.055× 4.7k)
Loop 3: 9.4214 V =( 3.519 ×1k) + (1.054 × 5.6k)
8. With the experimental data, verify Kirchhoff’s current law at nodes a and b of
circuit 2.
Ans:
Node a: Ir1 = Ir2 + Ir3 (2.61mA = 0.98 mA + 1.63 mA)
Node b: Ir3 = Ir4 + Ir5 (1.63 mA = 0.62 mA + 1.01 mA)
Discussion:
In this experiment, you are working with parallel and ladder circuits to learn about Kirchhoff's
Current Law (KCL), the Current Divider Rule, and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL).
Here's what you can learn from each part of the lab:
Connecting a Parallel Circuit on a Breadboard, Validating the Current Divider Rule, Verifying
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), Verifying KCL and KVL in a Ladder Circuit, Components,
and Equipment.
Overall, this lab will provide you with hands-on experience in building and analyzing
electrical circuits, applying important laws like KCL and KVL, and gaining proficiency in
using electronic components and measurement tools. These skills are foundational for anyone
studying electrical engineering or working with electrical circuits.
