Lab Report Instructions:
(This instruction box is to be deleted before submission of Lab report)
Before starting on your lab report, please follow the following steps:
1) Watch the “Lab Video Resources” in your course shell.
2) Follow the instructions listed in the file “EET110 Unit-1 Lab - Instructions”
3) Complete this lab report. Upon completion, you will submit only this lab report to your
instructor.
Abstract

What is an Abstract?
This should include a brief description of all parts of the lab. The abstract should be complete
in itself. It should summarize the entire lab; what you did, why you did it, the results and your
conclusion. Think of it as a summary to include all work done. It has to be succinct but yet
detailed enough for a person to know what this report deals with in its entirety.
(Students need to write this).
Introduction
What is an Introduction?
In your own words, explain the reason for performing the experiment and give a concise
summary of the theory involved, including any mathematical detail relevant to later
discussion in the report. State the objectives of the lab as well as the overall background of
the relevant topic.
Procedures
Part 1: Series-Parallel Circuit in Multisim
 Download the Multisim File EET_110_Unit_4_Lab_Series_Parallel_Circuits.
 Calculate values for voltage, current, resistance, and power for the series-parallel circuit.
 Follow the steps detailed in the lab template to collect voltage and current measurements
for the series-parallel circuit after closing each switch.
3
 Verify Kirchhoff’s current law for the circuit.
 Verify Voltage divider for series portions of the circuit
 Verify power calculations for the series-parallel circuit
Part 2: Series-Parallel Circuit House Simulation

 Access the House Simulation and navigate to Room 3, Office.
 Click on the activities button on the menu and perform the indicated tasks.
 Record your results in the Data Presentation and Analysis
Data Presentation & Analysis

This section is the most important section of the report. Data representations and analysis are crucial
in the engineering field. This section should include all raw data collected, e.g., voltage and current
readings. All results are to be presented in both tabular and graphical form. All tables must have titles
and all figures must have brief captions.

Required Screenshots
Take screenshots of each circuit in part 1 after the circuit simulation. Be sure to include the multimeters
in the screenshots.
All screenshots of Multisim circuits must contain the date and time from the system tray.
Alternatively, you may choose to include the File Information page in Multisim. However, the file
information sheet must not obscure the circuit and test equipment.

Conclusion
What is a Conclusion?
This section should reflect your understanding of the experiment conducted. Important
points to include are a brief discussion of your results, an interpretation of the actual
experimental results as they apply to the objectives of the experiment set out in the
introduction should be given. Also, discuss any problems encountered and how they were
resolved.
Answer the following questions as part of your conclusions:

 How is the voltage divider applied in a series-parallel circuit?
 How does Kirchhoff’s current law apply to a series-parallel circuit?
 What happens to the voltages in parallel?
 What happens to the voltages in series?
 What happens to the currents in parallel?
 What happens to the currents in series?
 How is power conserved in a series-parallel circuit?
 What are some advantages and disadvantages of series-parallel circuits?
