DC Measurement Techniques

Introduction

In the realm of electronics system design, it is imperative to possess a profound comprehension of voltage, electric current, and the precise methods for their measurement. This necessitates proficiency in interpreting meters and grasping the distinctive traits of measurement instruments to avert inaccuracies and potential harm to equipment. When assessing the current flowing through a load, it is customary to employ an ammeter connected in series, while a voltmeter, connected in parallel, gauges the voltage across the load. A meticulous grasp of these principles is of paramount significance in the field of electronics to ensure their accurate application. Current and voltage assume pivotal roles, particularly in the context of energizing electronic devices through a power supply. In the case of a direct current (DC) power supply, there exist two polarities – positive and negative. It is imperative to correctly connect the circuit to the appropriate polarity of the power supply to guarantee its proper and secure operation.

Methodology

Apparatus

  1. Variable voltage power supply
  2. Resistance 3.3 Ω/2W
  3. Switch SPDT/SPST
  4. Light bulb 6V
  5. Plug-in board
  6. Main power supply
  7. Basic meter
  8. Digital multi-meter
  9. Connectors
  10. Connector Cables

The third part of the experiment:

  1. Construct the circuit as shown below, close the switch and record the voltage across R and the current flowing through it.
  2. Repeat the above step but using a connector instead of the switch.

Data Collection

For the second part of the experiment:

  • When the cross connector is used, ammeter reading is 0.105 A.
    • When the switch is closed, the lamp lights up and the current is as follows: Source voltage/ V Voltmeter reading/ V 15.0 1 5. 5.0 5. 1 No. Polarity I/ A 1 Positive 0.1 04 2 Negative - 0.10 0

For the third part of the experiment: No. Polarity I/ A VR / V 1 Positive 0.09 4 0.30 2 2 Positive 0.09 7 0.3 18

Safety Precautions

  • Confirm that all connections are securely fastened.
  • Conduct measurements promptly to prevent heat dissipation across wires and connectors from influencing the readings.

Conclusion

This experiment enhances our comprehension of the flow of electric current within a circuit. It elucidates that within a voltage source, current moves from the negative to the positive polarity, whereas in a load, it travels from the positive to the negative polarity. Additionally, we gained insights into the correct connection of voltmeters and ammeters within a circuit to guarantee accurate readings.

  1. Repeat the experiment using the 15 V DC source.
  2. Verify that the power dissipated as heat by the resistance is expressed by the formula below:

Data Collection

Safety Precautions

  • Verify that all connections are securely tightened.
  • Perform measurements promptly to prevent the heat dissipation across wires and connectors from impacting the recorded readings.

Conclusion

The gathered data confirms the validity of Ohm's law, demonstrating that the voltage across a load is in direct proportion to the current, assuming a constant temperature. Additionally, the power dissipated across the resistance remains consistent when utilizing the provided formulas. In summary, this experiment aids in comprehending Ohm's law and its practical applications.
