1. The measured resistance of 1.27kohm matched the calculated total resistance from adding the individual resistor values in series. 2. The measured currents across each resistor matched the calculated currents based on the equivalent resistance and supply voltage. 3. Kirchhoff's voltage law was confirmed because the sum of the voltage drops across the resistors equaled the supply voltage, as the theory predicts.

Draw Figure 1 using the Multisim simulation software. Connect the multimeter as ohmmeter .1
between ‘a’ and ‘b’. Click the simulate switch to run analysis. Record the measured resistance.
Calculate the total value just by addition and record it

Req (measured) =1.27kohm

Req (calculated) =100+150+220+330+470=1270ohm

Question: How did the measured value compare with the calculated value?
.Comment
There is no difference between req (measured) and req (calculate), and the error
percentage is 0,because it is series
.Draw Figure 2. Run the simulation and record the currents and voltages .2

Based on the equivalent resistance Req calculated in step 1 and value of the voltage source (V), .3
.calculate the source current (Is)

= Is V/R=10/1270= 3-^10×7.874 A

?Question: How did the measured current Iab compare with the calculated current (I)

There is a slight difference


From the measured value of voltages across the resistances, calculate the current. Compare these .4
.calculated values of currents with the measured values of currents

Iab Icd Ief Ihi Ijk

Measured mA873.7 mA875.7 mA875.7 mA874.7 mA874.7

?Question: How do they compare

there is no difference

Calculate the sum of the voltages Vbc, Vde, Vfg, Vgh, Vij .5

= Vbc + Vde + Vfg + Vgh + Vij

9.999v+3-^10×787.317 =1.181+1.732+2.598+3.701

Question: What is the relationship between the supply voltage (VS) and the sum obtained? Does it
.confirm Kirchhoff’s law? Explain

Yes, they are the same, and theory has proven that the sum of the voltage resistors is equal to the
battery

Kirchhoff's law states that the sum of the voltage within a single circuit or ring is equal to the
battery

:comment

What I've seen from experience is that all of the resistors are the same because they're in series.
And the sum of the resistors inside the circuit is equal to the battery
