    4 Circuit Calculations
    Introduction

    Regardless of circuit complexity, circuit designers as well as users need to be able to


    apply basic electrical theories to circuits in order to verify safe operation and
    troubleshoot unexpected circuit failure. In this activity you will gain experience
    applying Ohms law and Kirchhoffs voltage and current laws to circuits in order to
    gain understanding of circuit requirements and relationships between voltage,
    current, and resistance.

    Procedure
    1. For each of the resistors shown below, use Ohms law to calculate the unknown
    quantity. Be sure to put your answer in proper engineering notation and use the
    correct units.

    3.5/470=7.4 miliamps

    3.5/15.5=.226 ohms

    22x1.4=30.8 v

    2. For each of the circuits shown below, calculate the value for R T. Be sure to put
    your answer in proper engineering notation and use the correct units.

    820+150+1200 = 2170 ohms

    5.6+680+8200 =8885.6 ohms

    3. Using the laws of circuit theory, solve for RT, IT, V1, V2, and V3. Be sure to put your
    answer in proper engineering notation and use the correct units.

    RT=270+470+1200

    V/R=I

    RT=1940 ohms

    9/1940=4.63 milliamps

    V1= 4.63mAx 470

    V2=4.63mAx1200

    V3=4.63x270

    V1=2.17v
    V2=5.56v
    V3=1.25v
    Using the data from problem (3), verify your results using Kirchhoffs voltage law.
    All of the added voltage drops equal the total voltage.
    4. Using the laws of circuit theory, solve for RT, IT, I1, I2, and I3. Be sure to put your
    answer in proper engineering notation and use the correct units.

    RT=8200+6800+4700
    RT=19.7 kiliohms

    IT=V/R
    I=12/19700
    I=.609 kA

    I1
    Using the calculated results from problem (5), verify your results using Kirchhoffs
    current law.
