Prelab
Each student must complete the following before the start of lab period:
1.
Read the laboratory Objectives and Experimental Procedure. This helps ensure that you are ready to
participate in lab and are prepared to finish the lab within the provided time.
2.
Review the circuit in Figure 1, calculate the following values. Show your work and put a square
around your answers.
Total resistance of R1, R2, R3
Voltage across R1, R2, R3
Voltage at node A, B, C, D
Complete the Theoretical Node voltage in Table 3 and 4
3.
Find the three resistors in your lab kit, set them aside for the lab.

Figure 1: Series Circuit Schematic
Figure 2: Protoboard
Configuration
b)
Wire the circuit shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows how the circuit should be constructed on
your protoboard. Wire the circuit neatly as shown in the diagram, usingyour pre-cut wiring
kit. It must be neat with resistor trimmed and close to the board. Use only wires from your
140 wire kit. Loopy header wires will not be tolerated and ripped out of the circuit!
c)
Notice the light green coloring in the fritzing schematic, this shows the breadboard
continuity.
d)
With the power supply (E) not connected, measure the total resistance of the circuit, and
enter it in Table 1 as RT. Compare this value with your calculated value from prelab.
For Sign Off 1: Show and demonstrate to the instructor your completed Table 1
2.
Series Circuit Component Voltages
a)
Fill in the Table 2 the calculated voltage values across each resistor in the calculatedvalue
column.
b)
Using the DMM, adjust the DC power supply 2 to the value 5 V, then connect thesupply
to the circuit.
c)
Measure the voltage drops across each resistor and record them in Table 2.

Analysis and Conclusions
1.
Calculate the current through each resistor?
Since, Total Current = 5/6520 = 0.77 mA. The current through each resistor is 0.77 mA.
2.
Demonstrate KVL using the measured data.
Vt - V1 - V2 - V3 = 0

3.
Describe the proper DMM configuration when measuring a double-subscript node voltage.
For example, If I want to check for Vab, I would connect the positive minigrabber from
DMM to node
‘
a
’
and the negative minigrabber from DMM to node
‘
