Electric Circuit & System AMET-115 LAB #4
LAB#4 2 Student names and numbers: 1. 2. 3. Date: Section: Objectives: examining basic series and parallel DC circuits with resistors. Key elements are Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (that the sum of voltage rises around a loop must equal the sum of the voltage drops) and Kirchhoff’s Current Law (that the sum of currents entering a node must equal the sum of the currents exiting that node). The voltage divider rule will also be investigated. Required Components and Instruments DC Power supply Digital Multi-meter (DMM) Resistor, 1 k Ω, 2 k Ω, 5.1 k Breadboard Complete all tables and results, and make the report based on the template format and upload your report on Assignment folder lab#4.
Procedure: Part 1- Series Circuits 1. Find three resistors 𝑅 1 = 1 K , 𝑅 2 = 2.2 K , 𝑅 3 = 3.3 K 2. Set the DMM to measure the resistance. Measure R1 , R2 ,and R3 resistances and enter the values in Result Sheet (T4.1) 3. Place 𝑅 1 , 𝑅 2 , 𝑅 3 in SERIES on the breadboard. (See FIGURE 4.1 ) 4. Determine the theoretical total resistance ( 𝑅 𝑇 ) of the circuit and record it in T4.2, column 1 . Based on breadboard T4.1 Color code Measured value by DMM 𝑅 1 = 1 K 𝑅 2 = 2.2 K 𝑅 3 = 3.3 K Figure 4.1 LAB#4 A B C D
5. With a DMM still set to measure the resistance, connect the leads to points A and D (Figure 4.2) to measure, the resistance between A and D (Total Resistance, 𝑅 𝑇 ). Record it in T4.2, column 2 . Find the Error % of 𝑅 𝑇 and write it down in T4.2, column 3 . 6. Set the DMM to measure voltage. Turn on the power supply and connect the DMM to the power Supply (Figure 4.3). Make sure the CURRENT knob is fully clockwise. Slowly increase the voltage to 10V. ( Seen on the DMM). Switch off the supply. 4 2W Figure 4.2 10.0 v LAB#4 Figure 4.3
7. Construct the circuit shown in Figure 4.4. Ammeter must be connected in Series with all components in order to measure the current properly. 8. Calculate the theoretical value of the total current ( 𝐼 𝑇 ) and record it in T4.2, column 4 . 5 Figure 4.4 DC Ammeter LAB#4
