Kirchoff's Law (50 pnts)
Construct the circuit below
Enter the values of the DC voltage and Resisters that you used.
Use a voltmeter to measure the potential difference and resistances.
Variable | Measured Value |
20 Volts | |
902 | |
10.2 | |
10.6 |
Enter the measured and predicted quantities in the table below
Given
and the values of all resistors, use Kirchoff's laws to predicta.) Predict the value of
I_1 =?
Kirchoff's Loop theorem (Voltage Law)
where R =resistance for and in series.

c.) compare your predictions and measurements by filling in the table below.
Variable | Measured Value | Predicted Value | % Difference |
103.5 +/- 50 mV | 156 | 50% | |
20.4 mA | 22 | 7% | |
9.5 mA | 11.2 | 18% | |
9.0 mA | 10.8 | 20% |
Internal resistance (30 pnts)
Measure the internal resistance of your power source by graphing the potential difference on the x-axis and the current on the y-axis for several values of the resistance
shown in the circuit below. Begin with and then decrease it by a factor of 5 for each subsequent measurement. You can use a volt meter to measure the current and potential difference.
R_{Load} ( | )V (Volts) | I (mA) |
10 | 1.42 | 0.06118 | 3
93 | 1.55 | 0.0116.15 | 0.05
990 | 1.575 | 0.0051.54 | 0.04
10110 | 1.579 | 0.0050.146 | 0.005
15060 | 1.579 | 0.0050.101 | 0.003
slope of V-vs- I plot
- Since the current is in mA the resistance must be in kOhms in order to get volts.
Book suggests 1.5 flashlight battery could have an internal resistance of 0.5 Ohms.
Below I set R= 95
and changed VV (mv) | I (mA) |
126.1 | 0.79 |
300 | 2.64 |
500 | 4.62 |
1000 | 9.29 |
2000 | 18.78 |
3000 | 30.4 |
Now lets try to fix V and change R
Questions (20 pnts)
- What conservation law is involved in Kirchoff's Loop Theorem?
- What does the slope in the internal resistance plot above represent?
