EECS 2300 Electric Circuits I Spring Semester 2024 Laboratory Experiment 04 Title: Kirchhoff'S Laws and Superposition Report Author : LAKSHMI VENKATESH REVANURU Lab Partner: SAI SHARVAN KARANAM 1
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate a complex circuit in order to investigate Kirchhoff's law. Two voltage sources and seven resistors are included. While Kirchhoff's current law will be confirmed by examining currents entering multiple nodes, Kirchhoff's voltage law will be validated by analyzing different loops. The circuit will be inspected using superposition in the first two steps, and the calculations will be integrated. Then, the circuit will be analyzed as a whole, and the data obtained from step 3 and superposition will be compared. According to superposition, the influence on each individual component of a linear circuit is added algebraically when all sources are turned on. CIRCUITS USED The information from Figure 3 should be equal to the data that were merged from Figures 1 and 2. This is so that the circuit in Figure 3 can have the same values as in Figures 1 and 2, which do this by using superposition. Superposition asserts that the current or voltage at any given point in the network may be calculated as the algebraic sum of the individual contributions made by each independent source when operating alone in any linear circuit with many sources. One independent source can be chosen to work with, and all other independent 2
voltage sources and independent current sources can then be opened and closed, respectively. OBSERVATION Table 1.

This demonstrates that in this experiment, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law held true. According to Kirchhoff's voltage law, all closed channels in a circuit have an algebraic total of voltages equal to zero. From the data in Figure 3, three distinct loops were chosen, and the voltage sum was calculated. Two of the loops had very small error margins, but one loop turned out to be precisely zero. This demonstrates that the experiment upheld Kirchhoff's Current Law. According to Kirchhoff's current law, all currents flowing into a circuit add up to zero algebraically. The total currents at node 3, which was chosen as a candidate node, were computed. It was found that the total currents (current in + current out = 0) are -0.066, very close to zero, suggesting that Kirchhoff's current law is in effect. CONCLUSION: The purpose of this experiment is to use the superposition theorem to analyze a complex circuit and apply Kirchhoff's law. This objective was accomplished, as shown by the information and justifications provided in the Discussion. Superposition is a valid theorem that may be used to investigate a circuit, as the percentage difference data showed. It was shown that power in a circuit is not subject to superposition. This experiment also illustrated Kirchhoff's laws of voltage and current. In summary, linearity in Kirchhoff's Laws and superposition experiments demonstrates the consistency of these principles in analyzing linear electrical circuits. By adhering to these principles, engineers can confidently apply Kirchhoff's Laws to a wide range of circuits, allowing for accurate analysis and design in various electrical engineering applications. 5 sum -0.67
