Result:
Is = (4.1 - 4.17) ÷ 4.1 × 100 = 1.7%
IR1 = (1.788 - 1.41) ÷ 1.788 × 100 = 12.9%
IR2 = (1.256 - 1.55) ÷ 1.256 ×100 = 18.9%
IR3 = (1.054 - 1.54) ÷ 1.054 ×100 = 46.11%
Req = (2.44 – 4.46) ÷ 2.44×100 = 82.786%
1. State the current division rule
Ans: Current Division Rule states that the total current divided into either of the parallel
combination of two resistance or impedance is inversely proportional to the value of
Resistance.
Ix = Is RT / RX
2. State the Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL).
Ans: For a parallel path, the total current entering a circuit junction is exactly equal to the
total current leaving the same junction.
3. With the experimental data, verify Kirchhoff’s voltage law in Circuit 1 within
each independent closed loop of the circuit.
Ans:
Loop 1: 9.99 V = (4.098 × 1k) + (1.788 × 3.3k)
10 V ≈ 9.99 V
Loop 2: 9.99 V = (4.098 × 1k) + (1.256 × 4.7k)
10 V ≈ 9.99 V
Loop 3: 10 V =( 4.098 ×1k) + (1.054 × 5.6k)
10 V ≈ 9.99 V
4. With the experimental data, verify Kirchhoff’s current law at nodes a and b of
circuit 2.
Ans:
Node a: Ir1 = Ir2 + Ir3 (2.538 mA = 0.946 mA + 1.592 mA)
Node b: Ir3 = Ir4 + Ir5 (1.592 mA = 0.601 mA + 0.991 mA)
5. Showing all steps, calculate the theoretical values in Table 2. Compare theoretical values
to your experimental values and explain whether your circuit follows KCL or not.
Ans:
6. Showing all the steps, theoretically calculate Req of circuit 1. Compare with the
experimental value.
Ans:
7. Calculate all the theoretical values for Table 5. Show all steps. 4
Ans:
IR1 = Rt/R1 × Is = 2.538 mA
VR1 = 2.538 × 1 KΩ = 2.538 V
IR2 = Rt/R2 × Is = 0.946 mA
VR2 = 0.946 × 10 KΩ = 9.46 V
IR3 = Rt/R3 × Is = 1.592 mA
VR3 = 1.592 × 4.7 KΩ = 7.48 V
IR4 = Rt/R4 × Is = 0.601 mA
VR4 = 0.601 × 3.3 KΩ = 1.983 V
IR5 = Rt/R5 × Is = 0.991 mA
VR5 = 0.991 × 1 KΩ = 0.991 V
IR6 = Rt/R6 × Is = 0.991 mA
VR6 = 0.991 × 1 KΩ = 0.991 V
