Result:
Is = (4.098 - 4.098) ÷ 4.098 × 100 = 0%
IR1 = (1.788 - 1.788) ÷ 1.788 × 100 = 0%
IR2 = (1.256 - 1.256) ÷ 1.256 ×100 = 0%
IR3 = (1.054 - 1.054) ÷ 1.054 ×100 = 0%
Req = (2.44 - 2.44) ÷ 2.44×100 = 0%
Questions:
3. With the experimental data, verify Kirchhoff’s voltage law in Circuit 1 within each
independent closed loop of the circuit.
Ans: Loop1:9.99V=( 4.098× 1k)+( 1.788× 3.3k)
10V≈9.99V
Loop2:9.99V=(4.098× 1k)+(
1.256× 4.7k)
10V≈9.99V
Loop3:10V=(4. 098×1k)+(1.
054× 5.6k)
10V≈9.99V

Discussion:
In this experiment, we proved Kirchoff’s laws and current divider rules in parallel and
ladder circuits using a multimism.
Initially I was having trouble with simulation but later on it was fine. Multisim seemed a bit
confusing at the beginning but it became very easy pretty soon.
Since everything was well simulated I got very less error but if I would have done it at the lab
physically there would be many reasons for error like human error, instrumental error etc.
