EGN 100 Introduction to Engineering Resistance, Voltage, and Current Laboratory Guidelines The objectives of the laboratory are: Become familiar with the instrumentation Measure voltage and current Draw circuit diagrams Determine the relationship between voltage, resistance and current for a single resistance and for multiple resistances in series A. Relationship among voltage, resistance, and current Construct a circuit as shown in the diagram and the photograph. Use a 10 ohm resistor. Set the power supply voltage to 0 volts. Ammeter Power Supply R Voltmeter For the following supply voltages, measure and record: Supply Voltage Current through the 10 ohm resistor Voltage across the 10 ohm resistor Disconnect the circuit from the supply. 0.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 volts amperes volts Repeat for the 5 ohm resistance. Each person, using a spreadsheet, plot for the 10 ohm resistance the relationship between the voltage across the resistance (on the vertical axis) and the current through the resistance (on the horizontal axis). Since the plot is from a set of data, plot the points and find the best fit straight line, including the best fit equation for the line but not R2. Since we know that there is zero current for zero voltage, set the y intercept to zero when setting up the best fit straight line. What is the equation describing the line? What is the slope of the line? Repeat for the 5 ohm resistance. Compare the results for the 10 ohm and the 5 ohm resistances. B. Resistance, current and voltage in a single loop with two resistors Using the 10 ohm resistance and the 5 ohm resistance in series construct a circuit as shown in the Ammeter Supply 10 ohms Voltmeter 5 ohms diagram. Set the voltage to 4.0 volts. Connect the supply to the circuit. The diagram shows voltage being measured across the 5 ohm resistor. Measure and record: Supply voltage 4.0 Current Voltage across 5 ohm resistor Voltage across 10 ohm resistor Voltage across ammeter volts amperes volts volts volts What is the relationship between the voltage across each resistor and the current through that resistor? How does the sum of the voltages across the resistors and the ammeter relate to the supply voltage? Calculate the resistance of the ammeter. Using the data you obtained in class, answer the lab questions and describe whether and how the lab results conform to the principles you have learned in this class session.
