Laboratory - Analysis of Simple Resistive Circuits

Introduction - Now you get to repeat all the pre-lab experiments in the "real world." Unfortunately, circuits analyzed on breadboards do not behave quite as well as their simplified models. However, for most of the experiments that you will do in electric circuits you should find a close correlation.

Solderless Breadboard - Figure 1 (attached) shows a breadboard and its internal connections. Most of you have been using this component to build simple electric circuits used in EE101 and EE201L. The breadboard that is included in the myDAQ kit will work the same way.

Figure 2 (attached) show how to identify a resistor based on its color codes.

Laboratory Report -

Provide all measured resistance, voltage, and current values for the three circuits. Use simulation to calculate vo for both the voltage divider circuit without meter-loading and the voltage divider with the meter load connected. For the current divider circuit, you must simulate to compute all requested current values and use theory to compute their power values. Compute R_ab theoretically for the resistive network.

In your laboratory report, include an introduction explaining the purpose of the lab. For each section (i.e., voltage divider, current divider, and resistor network), include how the circuits were set up and analyzed, the theoretical data, and the experimental data. Also include a discussion of experimental results. In this discussion, explain the behavior of the results (e.g., do the results make intuitive sense, do the results follow Kirchoff's laws, and why are there deviations from the theoretical values?). When reporting the simulated values, experimental values, and percent error, use a table format for easy reading.

Finish the report with a conclusion that states what was accomplished (proven or disproven), as well as lessons learned. You may turn in a single laboratory report for your group.
