Objective:
This experiment is intended to verify Kirchhoffs Voltage and Current law with the help of series and
parallel circuits and derive equivalent resistance of the series circuit both experimentally and
analytically.
Theory:
Kirchhoffs Voltage Law (KVL) states that around any closed circuit the sum of the voltage rises
equals the sum of the voltage drops.
Kirchhoffs Current Law (KCL) states that the sum of the currents entering any node equals the sum
of the currents leaving that node.

For KVL
1. Connect R1 and R2 in parallel to a DC power supply as shown in figure 1.2 and set Vs= 5V DC
from the trainer board.
2. Take readings of I1, I2 and I using ammeters. Vs using a voltmeter and R1, R2 using a multi
meter.
3. Verify KCL (i.e. I=I1+I2) for each set of data. Find total resistance of the parallel circuit using
the formula Rp =R1R2/(R1+R2). Compare this with experimentally obtained value Rp=Vs/I.
Verify current divider for each set of data.
