    The key takeaways are about calculating voltages, currents, resistances and power in DC series and parallel circuits, and applying Kirchhoff's laws to solve multi-node networks.

    Calculations are required to find total resistance, current, voltages across components, total power and energy in series and parallel DC circuits.

    Kirchhoff's first law states that the algebraic sum of all currents at a node is zero. Kirchhoff's second law states that the algebraic sum of the voltages in a complete loop is zero. They are used to determine unknown currents and voltages.

    UNIT 6: Electrical and Electronic Principles
    Scenario
    You have to check the theoretical currents and voltages for the supplies to a critical
    electrical unit in a manufacturing centre. Due to safety reasons, this unit has to be switched
    off under supervision so the regulated DC power supply is backed up by a battery system in
    case of a mains failure. You will also have to calculate the electrical quantities for some
    resistor networks used in the speed control system.
    Tasks:
    Task 1:
    Calculate voltages, current, power and energy expended in the series and parallel speed
    control circuits. See diagrams 1 and 2 on sheet 3 for details.
    [P1]
    Task 2:
    State Kirchhoffs first circuit law.
    State Kirchhoffs second circuit law.
    Solve voltage, current and power dissipated in the load in a four-node network using
    Kirchhoffs circuit theorems. See diagram 3 on sheet 4.
    Check your results using the Matrix Solver spread sheet or by practical experimentation.
    [M1]

    Note: Enter all of your answers on pages 3 and 4.


    What you need to hand in:

    1. Sheets 1 and 2 with the declaration ticked, signed and dated.


    2. Sheets 3 and sheet 4 with your name and all the answers clearly displayed in the
    correct boxes.
    3. Sheets of paper clearly showing all your calculations and drawings where necessary.
    4. Evidence that you have checked your answers to the dual-loop enclosed network.
