Pre-Lab on Ohm's Law and Circuits

This document contains the responses to pre-lab questions for Circuit Analysis Lab 2. It includes: 1) Calculations using Ohm's Law to find voltage, current, or resistance given two of the three values. 2) Redrawing one of the series-parallel circuits shown in Figure 2.4 of the lab manual, assigning resistor values between 1-3kΩ, and calculating the input resistance. 3) For the selected circuit, drawing the equivalent Thevenin circuit with a 15V DC source and one of the resistors as the load, calculating the Thevenin resistance and determining the maximum power that can be drawn from the Thevenin source.

PRE-LAB [ To be completed and submitted before performing Lab # 2 ]


(Weight: 20%)

PART (A): (i) Ohm’s Law (OL) defines the element R (resistance) as R = V/I , where V is the
voltage (Volts) and I is the current (Amps) and R is the resistance(Ohms)
From this definition, we have V=IR and I=V/R.. The power P (Watts)
dissipated in a resistance R is given by P = VI = I2R=V2/R.
In the four cases below, arbitrarily assign numerical values for the first two
quantities and then use OL to fill in the value for the third (dependent) quantity.:

(a) 4
I = …….. mA, 20
V = ……… volts , 5k
R = …………..ohms

(b) 4
R = ………… 40
k: , V= ………….volts 10
, I = ……………. mA

(c) 5
V = …………. 100 : , Power P = ……………
volts , R = …………. 0.25 Watts.

(d) 4
P = …………. 200 volts , I = ………..A,
kW, V= ……….. 20 10
R = ………….:

(ii) Choose any one of the 5-resistor series-parallel circuits in Figure 2.4 and redraw the
chosen circuit in the space below. Assign resistance values in the 1 k: to 3 k: range to
the various resistors in each case (mark the values on the circuits) and calculate the input
resistance RAB of your chosen circuit .

PART (B): TEC & MPT

(i) For the circuit that you selected in PART (A) , Sec (ii) of this pre-lab, consider that a 15
volt DC source is connected to terminals A & B (with A positive). Then choose any one of the
resistances in the circuit to be the load and re-draw the ‘source-load’ circuit in the space
below. Analytically determine the TEC with respect to the chosen load. [ Clearly specify the
resistance which is selected as the load]. Draw the TEC showing VT, RT and RL.
(ii) Find the maximum power that can be drawn from the above TEC.
R1=1kohm

R2 = 2kohm
15V
RL = 2kohm
R3 = 1kohm

R4 = 1kohm
RT = R1 || ( R2 +R3 ) || R4= 3/7k ohm

Rth = 3/7k ohm

Vth=15V
RL = 2K ohm

I = V/(RT +RL) = 15/(3/7 + 2)k = 0.0062A


Pmax = Vth^2 / 4* Rth = 0.13125W
