Task: 1: School of Electronics Engineering

1) The student completed an experiment on applying Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) to solve for voltages and currents in multi-source DC circuits. 2) Two circuits were constructed and analyzed using KVL and KCL. The theoretical and experimental results matched closely with less than 0% difference. 3) The student learned how to apply KVL and KCL to solve for values in multi-source DC circuits from this experiment.

Task: 1 – KVL and KCL


Objective:
The objective of this exercise is study of KVL and KCL, specifically its usage in multi-source
DC circuits and the circuit currents and voltages will be investigated.

Components Required:
S. No. Components and Meter Range Type Quantity

1. Resistors -

2. Voltmeter/ Ammeter DC

3. RPS (0-30) V Dual

4. Bread Board -

5. Connecting wires As Required

Theory Overview:
Ohm’s law states that the voltage v across a resistor is directly proportional to the current i
flowing through the resistor. Ohm’s law by itself is not sufficient to analyze circuits. However,
when it is coupled with Kirchhoff’s two laws, we have a sufficient, powerful set of tools for
analyzing a large variety of electric circuits. These laws are formally known as Kirchhoff’s current
law (KCL) and Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL). Kirchhoff’s first law is based on the law of
conservation of charge, which requires that the algebraic sum of charges within a system cannot
change.
Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a node (or a
closed boundary) is zero.
Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed path
(or loop) is zero.

Procedure:

1. Form the circuit diagram in MULTISIM.


2. Measure the currents and the voltage using appropriate measuring
components.
3. Record the both the theoretical and practical values in the table
4. Verify the practical results with theoretical results and the deviation.

Precautions:

1. Check for proper color coding of resistors.


2. Choose the measuring meters according to the range (theoretical).
3. The terminal of each component and the ground should be properly
connected.
4. Make sure for proper connections before switching ON the supply.
5. Connect the ammeter in series and the voltmeter in parallel across the
circuit
