RE: Electrical Lab Report The purpose of this project was to apply the engineering design process to a simple electrical circuit problem. The goal is to design and build a specific electrical circuit. To build a voltage divider, a small breadboard, 25 common resistors, and connecting wires were provided. The project requires students to understand Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws. The project can be divided into two parts. The first part is to solve for the voltage drop and resistance needed to drop that amount of voltage. The second part is to use the assigned resistors to reach the previously calculated resistance. To have the closest possible resistance, resistors must be in series, parallel, and combined. The individual electrical circuits were tested in class and the result of my project was quite successful. All voltage drops between nodes were very close to those specified. Sincerely, /02/ 2013I have neither given nor received any...... half of the document ......s.3. The actual voltages between node and ground will be compared to those specified in the test data sheet. For each voltage reading there is a tolerance of less than +/- 5%.4. We provide five resistors each of 220Ω, 330Ω, 2200Ω, 3300Ω and 10000Ω resistor. Assumptions:+_The voltage drop and resistance between the nodes will be: V1=5.719 V R1=6354 ΩV2=4.8203 V R2=5355 ΩV3=3.784 V R3 =4204 ΩV4=2.3857V R4=2650.8 ΩV5=1.291V R5 =1434ΩBasic information:1. Electricity: “Electrons are the negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom, and electricity is the flow of electrons. Electricity must have a complete path to travel, or a loop, before the electrons move.” (Electrical theory pre-class reading)2. Ohm's Law: Ohm's law is the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.
