Centennial College ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN & TECHNOLOGY Course: EET-117 Name(s) Prithivi Raj Gurung Student Number(s) 301349158 Date 23 Feb Lab #6 SERIES CIRCUITS Based on Experiments in Basic Circuits by David Buchla Objectives: 1 Use Ohm's law to find the currents and voltages in a series circuit 2. Apply Kirchhoff's voltage law to a series circuit 3. Use Watts Law to find the power in resistors of the series circuit Required Instruments and Components: Power supply DMM (Digital Multimeter) Breadboard Alligator test leads (from the EET-117 lab kit) Resistors: 1.0 kΩ, 1.5 kΩ, 2.2 kΩ, 3.3 kΩ (from the EET-117 labkit) 1 | P a g e
Procedure 1. Obtain the resistors listed in Table 1 . Measure each resistor and record the measured value in Table 1. Compute the total resistance for a series connection by adding the measured values. Enter the computed total re s istance in Table 1 in the column for the listed value. A reminder of steps to measure resistance using lab DMM (a reference to the manual): 1. Connect the device under test to the instrument, as shown: 2. Select a resistance measurement function: • Press 2 to select 2-wire ohms. Ω 2. Connect the resistors in series, as illustrated in Figure 3. Measure the total resistance of the series connection and verify that it agrees with your computed value . Enter your measured value in Table 1. Fig. 3 Table 1. Measured and computed resistance values (use up to 3 significant digits, and metric prefixes) Component Listed + calculated Values Measured Values Marks R 1 1.0 kΩ /2 R 2 1.5 kΩ /2 R 3 2.2 kΩ /2 R 4 3.3 kΩ /2 R T /2 Total /10 2 | P a g e
3. C o mplete the circuit shown in Figure 4, making certa i n that th e ammeter is connected in series ; otherwise damage to the meter may result . B e fo re a p p l ying p o wer, ask your professor to check the circuit . C o mpute the current in the circuit by su b stituting the source voltage and the total resistance into Ohm's law; that is: Fig. 4 Record the computed current in Table 2 . Apply power, and confirm that your computed current is within the experimental uncertainty of the measured current . Record the measured current in Table 2. 4. In a series circuit, the same current flows through all components . We can use the total current from step 3 and Ohm's law to compute the voltage drop across each resistor . Compute V AB by multiplying the total current by the resistance between A and B . Record the results as the computed voltag e in Table 2. 5. Repeat step 4 for the other voltages listed in Table 2. 6. Measure and record each of the voltages listed in Table 2 . Table 2. Measured and computed values (use up to 3 significant digits, and metric prefixes) Computed Value Measured Value Marks I T /4 V AB (V 1 ) /4 V BC (V 2 ) /4 V CD (V 3 ) /4 V DE (V 4 ) /4 Total /20 3 | P a g e
