L i S S S DATEOFLAB: LABORATORY GROUP # PARTNERS DC CIRCUITS AND KIRCHHOFF'S RULES OBJECTIVE To vecome familiar with the use of Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff's rules in calculating currents in circuits with resistonces only. APPARATUS NEEDED ¥ou will need the following equipment and supplies to conduct this experiment. (@) do power supplis (PASCO SF-9584) DMM red BB leads black BB leads red AB Icads black AB leads red AA leads black A leads L0 k-ohm resistor 20 k-ohm resistor 3.0 k-ohm resistor 067 kohm resistor masking tape INTRODUCTION ‘This experiment is an introduction to the use of Kirchhof’s rules to calculate currents in a circuit of resistances and voltage sources. PROCEDURE 1: Determining Resistance Values 1. Resistorvaluesare neverexactand there are only two digits available for the resistance of aresistor. Also, the value stated by the manufacturer is only guaranteed to be within the folerance that the manufacturer states. Therefore, our first step i to find the actual resistance of our resistors. To do this we will use the resistance scale of our DMMs to measure the resistance dircctly. Then we will see ifthis value falls within the tolerance stated by the manufacturer for each of our resistors. 2. Obuain the 1.0 k- resistor and use a couple of pieces of masking tape to secure the resistor to the table, out of the way. Tape only the wire leads of the resistor to the table, not the body of the resistor tself, as shown in Figure 1. You will probably have to tear the masking tape into smaller pieces for this step. Note: If you are using a circuit board, skip all references to taping objects to the table. 15-3
5. 6. Setthe DMM to the ohms scale. Masking | Using a set of red and black AB Tape leads, connect the leads across / 1 the 1.0k-Q resistor. Note that i some of the resistors are marked with their resistance values and some havea color code that must be interpreted. (See the resistor I color code in Appendix T in Laboratory 16.) Resistor Q1. Whatis the resis- tance in ohms as stated by the manu- facturer? . Securing the Resistor (o the Table. Q 2. What s the tolerance in percent for this resistor? @ 3. Whatis the smallest resistance your resistor could have and still be within tolerance? Q4. Whatis the largest resistance your resistor could have and still be within tolerance? As you measure the resistance, you will need to experiment with the DMM to get the Jargest number of digits for the resistance. Q@ 5. What resistance in ohms do you read using the DMM? Q@ 6. Is your 1 k-ohm resistor within tolerance? Locate the 2.0 k-ohm resistor. Use a couple of pieces of masking tape to tape the resistor to the table out ofthe way. Tape only the wire leads of the resistor to the table, mof the body of the resistor itself, as shown in Figure 1. Set the DMM to the ohms scale. Using a set of red and black AB leads, connect the leads across the 2 k-ohm resistor. Q 7. What s the resistance in ohms as stated by the manufacturer? @ 8. What s the tolerance in percent for this resistor? Q@ 9. What s the smallest resistance your resistor could have and still be within tolerance? Q@ 10. What s the largest resistance your resistor could have and still be within tolerance? Asyoumeasure the resistance with the DMM, you will need to experiment with the DMM to get the largest 15-4

PROCEDURE 2: Series Circuit 1. Using the power supply, resistors, and leads provided, wire the circuit shown in Figure 2 exactly as it is in the circuit Ri1 diagram. Tape the resistors and con- tka necting leads to the table with masking tape to keep them in place during the experiment, leaving roomattheendsof | 1.5 y—J the resistor leads to make the connec- tions with the alligatorclips on the ends of the wire leads. Don’t fape over the body of the resistors, only over the wire Rz Teads of the resistors. Double check the 2kQ power supply polarities, using the + and - designations on the power sup- ply. Don’t plug in the power supply yet. See Figure3 for apictorial drawing of how your circuit should look now.
