Question

current in the ammeter is 0.10A

R,
రాం S
20 V
R2=
40 2
/-
Transcribed Image Text:R, రాం S 20 V R2= 40 2 /-
2) Measure and record the current in the ammeter. This is your experimental value.
3) Calculate the current using kirchhoff's loop law. This is your theoretical value.
4) Calculate the percent difference between two values.
5) Using voltmeter measure and record the potential difference between a and b.
6) Calculate the potential difference between a and b using known current, voltage and
resistor values.
7) Find the percent difference between two values.
8) Using voltmeter measure the potential difference between each element in the circuit.
(Make sure positive and negative leads of voltmeter connected in same pattern for each
element)
9) Find the sum of potential differences across each element.
10) Check the validity of Kirchhoff's 2nd law ( sum of potential differences in any closed loop
equal to zero).
