Part A: Verification of KVL and Voltage Divider Rule
OBJECTIVE
To verify Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) and voltage divider rule with the help of
seriescircuits and derive equivalent resistance of the series circuit both
experimentally and analytically.
THEORY
Let say, there are three resistors in series supplied by voltage VS. KVL states that
around any closed circuit the sum of the voltage rises equals the sum of the voltage
drops acrossthe resistors.
∑ VRISES = ∑ VDROPS
VS = V1 + V2 ……. (i)
According to the voltage divider rule, the voltage drop at any

resistor RX in a seriescircuit is
Where, VS is the voltage rise or supply and RS is the equivalent resistance of a

seriescircuit given by
where x = 1 and 2
RS =∑ Rx = R1 + R2
APPARATUS
• One Multimeter [ For voltmeter (select DC mode) and ohmmeter purposes]
• One DC Ammeter [0 - 1A]
• Two Rheostats (use 0 – 50, 0 – 100, longer length rheostats)
• One SPST switch (optional)
• DC power supply
Procedure
• Before making the connection slide the jockey (avoiding short circuit
position) and mark 3 jockey positions (start from maximum value) using
chalk/pencil (for all 2 rheostats) and note down the resistance (maximum to
minimum order) valuesusing a multimeter in Table 1. There are certain
advantages in taking the resistance values in advance.

Rs=R1+R2(theoretical) 52.02 108.7 211
Rp=R1 ∥ 16.5 34.5 85.2
R2(theoretical)
• Connect three rheostats R1, R2 in series (through a SPST switch:

optional) to a DC power supply as shown in Fig.1.
• Apply 20 V DC from DC power supply.
• Set all three rheostats at their maximum value positions (1st column in
Table 1)and take readings of V1, V2, VS using a multimeter, I use an
ammeter.
• Repeat step 4 for 2

nd, 3rd marked jockey positions 2, 3 from Table 1
with their prerecorded resistance values of 2 rheostats. While a new
jockey position of lower resistance notice the ammeter whether the
current exceeds theammeter rating.
• Verify KVL (i.e. VS=V1+V2) for each set of data in Table 2. For each
set ofjockey position, find total resistance of the series circuit using the
formula
RS =R1+R2 in Table 1. Compare this with experimentally obtained
valueRS=VS/I. Verify voltage divider for each set of data.

REPORT
There are differences between practical and theoretical values.Because the wire has
its ownresistance too.Also resistances of rheostat are not constant in practical.
Part B: Verification of KCL and Current Divider Rule
OBJECTIVE
To verify Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) & current divider rule with the help of
parallelcircuit and derive equivalent resistance of the circuit both experimentally
and analytically
THEORY
Let say, a current IS is entering a node

connected with three resistors in parallel. KCLstates that the sum of the
currents entering any node equals the sum of the currents leaving the node
(through the parallel resistors).
According to the current divider rule, current leaving through a resistor branch RX is
where, x = 1 and 2
The equivalent (total) resistance of three parallel resistor branches is given by the formula
APPARATUS
• One Multimeter (for both voltmeter and ohmmeter purposes)

• 3 DC Ammeters (0 - 1A), [If current exceeds 1A, use 0 – 5 A ammeter]
• Three Rheostats (longer sizes, preferably 0 – 100 ohm and larger sizes)
• Four Switches (optional)

• DC power supply (0 – 30V)
PROCEDURE
• Connect three rheostats along with their own switches in parallel across the
power supply as shown in Fig 1.4.
• Apply 20 V from the dc power supply.
• With the marked jockey positions and prerecorded values of resistances in

Table 1,take five data observations measuring corresponding I1, I2 as indicated
in Fig 1.4
• Consider the current display in the dc power supply as input current, I in Fig. 1.4 .
• Be careful that no low resistance or short circuit occurs while sliding the
jockey. Should monitor the branch ammeter to avoid high current due to any
low Resistance.
• Fill up Table 3 using measured values.
• Verify KCL (i.e. I=I1+I2) for each set of data in Table 3. For each set of
jockey position, find total resistance of the parallel circuit using the formula in
Table 1. Compare this with experimentally obtained value RP=VS/I. Verify the
current dividerrule for each set of data in Table 3.
