Experiment No: Verification of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) Requirement:-S.n. Name of Equipment Type Range Qty. Remark

This experiment verifies Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) using a circuit with a power supply, ammeter, voltmeter, and resistances. KVL states that the sum of the voltages around any closed loop is equal to zero. The procedure connects the circuit and measures current and voltages with varying resistance. The results show that the sum of voltages V1 and V2 equals the voltage V3, verifying that KVL holds true for this circuit. Precautions include ensuring tight connections, checking zero readings, and not exceeding current ratings.

Theory:according to this law the algebraic sum of voltage around a


closed ckt. Or loop is zero.
it can also stated as in any closed ckt.,the algebraic sum of the products of
currents and resistance in each of the conductors is equal to the algebraic
sum of the emfs of the batteries.
Ckt. Diagram:-

Difference between kirchoffs first and second law:First law (KCL)


This law supports the
law of conservation of
charge
Acc. To the law sigma
j=0

Second law (KVL)


This law supports
the law of
conservation of
energy.
Acc to the law sigma
e=sigma ir

This law can be used In


open and closed ckt.

This law can be used


in closed ckt.

Procedure:1. connect the ckt. As shown in the fig.

2. Switch on the dc- supply.


3. Note the reading of ammeter and voltmeter.

4. Change the value of rheostat and repeat the steps thrice.

Calculation:add the voltage v1 and v2 recorded from voltmeter and


recorded the same in the last column of the table.
Result:- as the voltage v3 and v1+v2 are equal,the kirchoffs voltage law
is verified.
Precaution:1. All the connection should be tight.
2. Before connecting the instruments, check their zero reading.
3. Terminal of the rheostat should be connected properly.
4. Any time ,the current of ammeter should not exceed the
current rating of the rheostat.
