Two experiments for students in Electrical Engineering. The first experiment verifies Ohm's Law using a DC circuit and introduces students to series and parallel circuits. The second experiment checks Kirchhoff's Laws in series and parallel circuits. Students are expected to record data, perform calculations, and analyze results.

This laboratory manual is available to all students at the beginning of the semester contains the detailed information about the experiment objectives with each having a brief introduction, a short description of the facility, suggestions for summary and a few references. Students must prepare themselves for the next scheduled experiment following the appropriate hand-out. Your report should be submitted 1 week after the date of the experiment (by 5 pm). You must submit a hardcopy version only. Late submission will be subjected to a penalty. Note that the submission is to be done in GROUP of THREE (3). Shall any of the group members being absent with a VALID reason, he/she must submit an INDIVIDUAL REPORT after the replacement lab has been conducted. I mportant Notes: Plagiarism – Plagiarism is a form of cheating. Do not use someone else’s ideas or words and submit them as your own. You will get a 0% grade for plagiarising.

15 1857, Kirchhoff developed two conclusions, known as Kirchhoff’s Laws, can be stated as follows: i. Kirchhoff’s voltage law Kirchhoffs voltage law is also known as his first law. It is stated that the sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop is equal to the sum of the emfs in that loop. It gives the relationship between the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit and the voltage sources in that loop. The totals of these two quantities are always equal. This can be given in equation form as: E = ∑IR, where the symbol ∑, which is the Greek letter sigma, means “the sum of.” ii. Kirchhoff’s current law Kirchhoff’s current law is called his second law. It is stated that the current arriving at any junction point in a circuit is equal to the current leaving that point. Current cannot collect or build up at a point. Thus, if 1A of current arrives at a junction that has two paths leading away from it, the 1A will divide among the two paths, but the total 1A must leave the junction. This can^ be^ given^ in^ equation^ form^ as:^ ∑Iin -^ ∑^ Iout =^0 or^ ∑Iin =^ ∑^ Iout.^ Normally, Kirchhoff’s current (^) law is not used by itself, but together with the voltage law in solving a circuit problem. 3.0 APPARATUS Table 1: Apparatus Setting for Section 4.
