R1 13 R3-330 E = 12V HE LA R5-160 R4=100 R2=220 12 Calculate and measure the voltage across each resistor and then complete table 1 on page 42 Current dividing law Build the circuit above then complete table 2 on page 43 Calculate and measure the current through each resistor and then complete table 2 on page 43 NB You will have to take the current readings one at a time.
Voltage dividing law: TABLE 1 Calculated Measured Voltage Voltage V Voltage 1 V V Voltage 2 V V < Voltage 3 V V Voltage 4 < V Voltage 5 V V Total Voltage Prove, E = V1 + V2 + V3 + V4 V V E = V1 + V2 + V5 11 Does the sum of volt drops equal total applied voltage?
Current dividing law: TABLE 2 Calculated Measured Current Current Current 1 mA mA Current 2 mA MA Current 3 MA mA Current 4 mA MA mA mA Current 5 mA mA Total Current Prove, 11 = 13 + 15 mA mA 12 = 14 + 15 mA ma Does the sum of branch currents drops equal total current? = (20)
