    1. This lab experiment aims to measure voltage, current, and resistance in series-parallel circuits and confirm Ohm's law. 2. Students will construct two circuits - one with two resistors in parallel and one with four resistors in series-parallel. They will measure voltages and currents and record their findings in tables to calculate theoretical vs measured values. 3. Procedures involve using a DMM to measure voltages at various points against ground and currents through individual resistors by placing the DMM probes in-line. Students will analyze their results and calculate percent deviations from theoretical values.

    Experiment 4 ~ Resistors in Parallel

    Lab Objectives
    By the end of this lab, students should be able to:
    1. Measure voltage, current and resistance in a dc circuit
    2. Confirm Ohm’s law by direct measurement.
    3. Assemble a series-parallel circuit
    4. Measure voltage and current in a series-parallel circuit.

    Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL): Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) in a DC circuit states that, “the
    algebraic sum of the currents entering and leaving an area, system or junction is zero”. In other word, “the
    sum of the currents entering an area, system or junction must equal the sum of the currents leaving the area,
    system or junction”. In equation form, KCL can be expressed as

    The Experiment
    Procedure
    1. Using the circuit of Figure 6.1 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k and E = 8 volts, determine the theoretical
    voltages at points A, B, and C with respect to ground. Record these values in Table 6.1. Construct the circuit.
    Set the DMM to read DC voltage and apply it to the circuit from point A to ground. The red lead should be
    placed at point A and the black lead should be connected to ground. Record this voltage in Table 6.1. Repeat
    the measurements at points B and C.

    2. Apply Ohm’s law to determine the expected currents through R1 and R2. Record these values in the
    Theory column of Table 6.2. Also determine and record the total current.

    3. Set the DMM to measure DC current. Remember, current is measured at a single point and requires the
    meter to be inserted in-line. To measure the total supplied current place the DMM between points A and B.
    The red lead should be placed closer to the positive source terminal. Record this value in Table 6.2. Repeat
    this process for the currents through R1 and R2. Determine the percent deviation between theoretical and
    measured for each of the currents and record these in the final column of Table 6.2.

    4. Crosscheck the theoretical results by computing the two resistor currents through the current divider
    rule. Record these in Table 6.3.

    5. Consider the circuit of Figure 6.2 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k, R3 = 3.3 k, R4 = 6.8 k and E = 10 volts.
    Using the Ohm’s law, determine the currents through each of the four resistors and record the values in
    Table 6.4 under the Theory column. Note that the larger the resistor, the smaller the current should be. Also
    determine and record the total supplied current and the current I . Note that this current should equal the sum
    of the currents through R3 and R4.

    6. Construct the circuit of Figure 6.2 with R1 = 1 k, R2 = 2.2 k, R3 = 3.3 k, R4 = 6.8 k and E = 10 volts. Set
    the DMM to measure DC current. Place the DMM probes in-line with R1 and measure its current. Record
    this value in Table 6.4. Also determine the deviation. Repeat this process for the remaining three resistors.
    Also measure the total current supplied by the source by inserting the ammeter between points A and B.

    7. To find I X , insert the ammeter at point X with the black probe closer to R3. Record this value in Table
    6.4 with deviation.
