How to patch resistive circuits and verify KVL/KCL for each of them.
Apparatus
Breadboard
Digital Multimeter DMM
Power supply
Resistors
Theory
1. Check the values of the resistors, to be used in circuit of fig 1, using Multimeter. Record the
values in table1.
2. Connect the circuit as shown, and have it checked by the instructor. Adjust supply voltage Vs to
5v and check it using dc voltmeter.
3. Measure VAB, VBC, VAD, VDG, VBD and VAC voltages. Record their values (including the signs) in table
2.
4. Measure the current I1, I2, I3, I4 and I5 and record their values (including the signs) in table 3.

Extra Task: if you have successfully done with all laboratory tasks, implement the circuits in fig 2 and
verify KCL for each and every loop and KCL for each node and record the readings.
Laboratory Report
1. Fir the circuit in fig 1. Verify KCL by adding the experimental values of voltages around the loops.
a. ABCEFA
b. ABDA
c. CDAC
2. For the same circuit verify KCL by adding the experimental values of current at nodes:
a. A
b. B
c. C
3. Do the experimental and theoretical values of voltages and current agree? Indicate the
percentage of differences.
5. If you have implemented the circuit in Fig 2 in the lab, draw all the table values showing the
measurement that you have taken and also calculate all those parameter.
