College of Technology 2015 EET113 Electric Circuits I La# 4 Parallel Circuits EET113_W2_LabAssignment4 I. Objective : 1. Build a parallel circuit. 2. Verify the validity of KCL 3. Verify the current divider rule II. Parts List : 1. Resistors: 1 k , 3.3 k  and 10 k  2. Variable Power Supply III. Procedures : 1. Connect and simulate the circuit, shown below in Figure 1, in MultiSim. 1
College of Technology 2015 Figure 1 A parallel electric circuit 2. Measure the voltage across the power supply, V s = __ 12 V_ ____ 3. Measure the current flowing in the circuit, I T = ____ 16.8 A ___ 4. Measure the current through each resistor. 5. Record the reading of the DMM in Table 1 below Table 1 Voltage drop across the resistor for different reference points Measured Current Calculated Current I 1 12.0 mA 12.0 mA I 2 3.64 mA 3.64 mA I 3 1.20 mA 1.20 mA I T 16.8 mA 16.8 mA 6. Calculate through circuit analysis and record in Table 1 above: a. I 1 = ___ 12 _____ b. I 2 = ___ 3.64 _____ c. I 3 = ___ 1.2_ ____ 7. Compare measured and calculated currents i. Both were similar 8. Verify Kirchhoff’s Current law, KCL. i. 12+3.64+1.2 = 16.8ma 2
College of Technology 2015 Lab Report: Abstract Using Multimeters, I created a parallel circuit in front of each resistor. From these positions I can test the voltage and current simultaneously throughout the circuit. Introduction Once I have completed building the parallel circuit the assignment instructions are to measure the voltage and current across the entire circuit with no change in the current value. Conclusion I was able to verify that Kirchhoff’s law in this lab. 3
