Introduction to circuit models for batteries
A battery is a convenient way of storing and supplying electrical energy which can be used as a
DC voltage source, especially in a portable form. In the first part of this lab experiment, you
should examine the properties of a dry cell battery by applying KVL, KCL and Ohm’s Law. Such
batteries are used as the power source in many everyday household and personal products.
In circuit analysis, two battery models are usually considered as illustrated in Figure 3 .1.
Figure 3 .1(a) shows the ideal model for the battery, being represented as a voltage source
V
s
that is independent of all variables; for example, temperature, external load, etc. This
model may be used in circuit analysis where its imperfections will not affect the analysis of the
circuit. The addition of an internal resistor
R
s
in the equivalent circuit of the battery as
shown in Figure 3 .1(b) accounts for the voltage drop at the terminals of the battery as current
is drawn from the battery. This is a significant improvement to the battery model. V
s
and
R
s
will be affected by the state of the battery, i.e., they can be changed as the battery is
discharged or getting close to its expiry date. They can also depend on the amount of current
being drawn from it. Therefore, these equivalent circuit components will be considered at a
specific operating point.

Lab 2: Part A. Pre-Lab Work
Make sure you complete the online quiz for Lab 2 before attending your session. Note that this
quiz can be found in Moodle in the Laboratory section.
Lab 2: Part B. Hardware Explanation
Please complete all the tasks given in this section during the lab session. Do not forget to
watch the related lab videos and guides that are suggested for this lab experiment.
1.
Annotate the diagram in Figure 3.2, on the next page, to show how you would set up the
circuit in Figure 3.2 if you were in the lab. Assume that we wish to measure the i
cb
current through the 330 Ω resistor for this experiment (note the direction). You may
copy the image in Figure 3.22 into MS Paint, add your annotations, and then copy the
annotated image back into this document. Refer to the Preface
section in the Online
Lab Manual
for an example annotated image.
The annotation in Figure 3.2 must show:
The components on the picture of the breadboard (in a dark blue colour)
Connections on the picture of the breadboard in red or black (or any other relevant
colour) depending on the colour of the cable or wire insulation that you would use in
a lab.
The cable connections between each piece of equipment and the breadboard and/or
the components on the breadboard. Also, be prepared to explain to the lab
demonstrator what connection type you would use at each end of the cable (i.e.
banana plug, BNC, alligator clamp, etc.). It may be helpful to add text descriptions
of this to your diagram.
Figure 3.2: The resistive circuit for Lab work 3.
Some helpful tips with this exercise are:
Ensure that annotated lines are thick enough to be easily seen, but not too thick
that it becomes difficult to see what breadboard holes you are connecting wires to.
Ensure that you understand why you have connected equipment in the particular
configuration as lab demonstrators may ask you this question.

Explain how you would set up the DC power supply and multimeter in the following
Answer Box.
For the dc power supply, include explanations on how you would set up:
Channel 1 voltage and current settings
The series/parallel buttons in the dc power supply (explain why this setting is
important or not important for your experimental setup)
The Power button and ON/OFF button (what pressing these buttons do and when
they should be pressed)
For the multimeter, include an explanation on how you would set up:
Current measurement (What buttons are required? Should you press the DCV, ACV,
Ω, DCA, ACA or the DC+AC button and why?)
How would you set the scale of the current measurement?
