Introduction to circuit variables and elements

OBJECTIVE :
Current and voltage are the two basic variables in an electric circuit, they are not sufficient by themselves. Power is defined as the rate of energy dissipation. An element is the basic building block of a circuit. An electric circuit is simply an interconnection of the elements. Circuit analysis is the process of determining voltage across the elements of the circuit.

Answer to Report Questions : 1 . Submitted the experimental datasheet. 2 . RS=R1+R2

=46+98 =144 VS=IRS I = VS/RS = 2.5/144 = 0.017 V1 = IR1 = 0.017 X 46 = 0.782 V2 = IR2 = 0.017 X 98 = 1.66

For circuit (b) We know, 1/RP = 1/R3 + 1/R4 = 1/98 + 1/219 RP = 67.72 I1 = VS/R3 = 2.5/98 = 25.5 mA I2 = VS/R4 = 2.5/219 = 11.4 mA

3 . Compare the calculated values with the measured values : Calculated Values V1 = 0.799 V V2 = 1.70 V V = 2.5 V I = 17 mA I1 = 25 mA I2 = 11.4 mA Measured Values V1 = 0.782 V2 = 1.66 V = 2.5 I = 17 mA I1 = 25.5 mA I1 = 11.4 mA

There are no differences with the measured and calculated values. So the measured and the calculated values are equal.

4 . R1 = V1/I = 0.798/0.017 = 46.94 (Ohm)

R2 = V2/I = 1.66/0.017 = 97.64 (Ohm) R3 = Vs/I1 = 2.5/0.025 = 98 (Ohm) R4 = VS/I2 = 2.5/0.0114 = 219 (Ohm) Comments : The measured and the calculated value R1 and R2 are equal. Also R3 and R4 are equal.

5 . The ammeter in the circuit with series and the voltmeter in the circuit with parallel. The
ammeter and voltmeter has two scales, one is 100 to 1000 and another is 30 to 300. If we take reading 100 scale then we divided 1000/100 = 10 and if we take reading 30 scale then we divided 300/30 = 3.

Conclusion :
We see that there are two circuits. One circuit is connected in series and other is connected in parallel. We can learn how to flow current and voltage in the circuit and we also learn to take reading with ammeter and voltmeter. We are able to take value with resistance. We apply in the experiment ohms law to calculate.
