LAB 1 REPORT – AVERAGE JOE’S
INTRODUCTION
Today’s lab is focused on designing two experiments that will observe and test the relationship of ΔV/R for resistors as well as the Loop Rule. The Loop Rule states that the sum of all ΔV in a circuit is zero. In order to study the behavior of currents in a circuit with different resistors, we will experiment with different voltages and measurements along the circuit. In part one of this lab, we will set up a one loop circuit with two resistors and see how their ΔV/R ratio compares to one another at different voltages. We hypothesized that both resistors would have the same ΔV/R ratio because they are attached to the same circuit. For the second part of this experiment, we will test the Loop Rule Hypothesis by setting up a Two-Loop Circuit and record the ΔV at different resistors to test if they will add to zero. METHODS
Introductory Lab:
1.
Insert one end of a wire into the IOLab device into the A7 sensor, this will be used to read the voltage of the circuit at different points.
2.
Using the IOLab software, change the DAC voltage to test different current strengths within the circuit.
3.
In your bread board, place two resistors and connect them in the circuit by putting one end of both resistors next to the other within the same row, to ensure the flow of electricity is continuous.
4.
Connect one red wire into the DAC sensor of the IOLab and connect the opposite end by clipping
it to one end of one of the resistors. 5.
Connect one black wire into the GND sensor of the IOLab and connect the opposite end by clipping it to one end of the other resistor to complete the circuit. a.
For the purposes of this experiment, we assumed GND is set to zero volts.
6.
Find the ratio of ΔV/R for each resistor. 7.
Calculate the average ΔV/R ratio using the sensor data from the IOLab software.
Part 2:
1.
In part 2 of the lab, we will be testing the hypothesis of the Loop Rule which states that the sum of voltage differences around a circuit is equal to 0. 2.
We will collect our ΔV/R values by testing different resistors within a Two-Loop Circuit by following steps 3-7 from the introductory lab methods.
a.
Since resistors were verified to be accurate in the first part of lab, they are assumed to be accurate here too, and were not checked again. 3.
Adjust the DAC voltage using the IOLab software.
4.
Collect voltage data within the IOLab software.
5.
Collect the data again with a voltmeter.

Figure 2 shows a simplified model of a gas-discharge
lamp. One characteristic of these lamps is that they
exhibit negative resistance; in other words, as current
increases the voltage drops further, making such
lamps inherently unstable. As such, a current-limiting
ballast is required. For the connection shown in the
figure:
1. Find the equivalent Thevenin circuit of the lamp.
2. Find the ballast resistance needed to limit the
current drawn from a 24-volt source to 6 amperes.

Which of the following statements regarding circuits are true?
To find resistance in a parallel circuit, you must sum the individual resitances
The direction of conventional current is the direction of positive charge flow.
In a circuit, electrons flow from high potential energy (at the negative terminal) to low potential energy (at the
positive terminal).
When electricity is passed through a lightbulb, the electrons are 'used up' by the bulb.
All voltages in a loop sum to 12V
The current that flows into a resistor is the same as the current that flows out.
To 'short circuit' something means there is an alternate path of less resistance for the current to flow.
Switching on a light happens immediately because electrons move from the power source to the bulb
incredibly quickly.
A 'kilowatt-hour' is a unit of power, not energy.

Shown below is a DC circuit that contains a number of switches. Each switch is resistanceless
when closed. All of the connecting wires may be considered to have zero resistance. All of the
resistors shown are identical. The circuit contains an ideal voltmeter. The diagram shows all of
the switches open. Beside the diagram are eight different switch configurations for the circuit.
Rank these configurations in terms of the voltmeter reading. That is, put first the configuration
for which the voltmeter gives the largest reading, and put last the configuration for which the
yoltmeter gives the smallest reading. If two or more configurations produce the same voltmeter
reading, give these configurations equal ranking.

Step 1: Drawing a circuit diagram and labeling the unknowns.
All told there are 5 elements, 4
resistors and 1 voltage source.
For resistors I intentionally label the
currents going from + to -. That way, I
can write V = I R. If I labeled the
current through a resistor from – to +
as I, then I have to write the equation
by Ohm's law as V = -I R.
For convenience I label the current i,
through the voltage source from – to
+. (There is no Ohm's law for a source
to follow. Do not try to have a
