EE 1010 – Intro to ECE – Electronics Module
Instructional Objectives:
This module investigates an introductory level understanding of electronics, including
operational amplifiers (op-amps) and temperature transducers.
Equipment:
This lab will utilize the Agilent 34401A Multimeter, Agilent E3631A Power Supply,
Agilent 33120A Function Generator, Agilent 54622D Oscilloscope, and computers with
LabVIEW and data acquisition cards (DAQs).
Procedure:
Conduct the following experiments. Questions may be answered on this sheet or on a
separate piece of paper. If you have any questions regarding the procedure, the concepts,
or the equipment please feel free to ask the instructor or the teaching assistant.
Experiment 1: Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL) and Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
A. Analyze the circuit in Figure 1 to find I1, I2, I3, V1, and V2.
B. Build the three resistor circuit shown in Figure 1.
C. After the circuit is built, turn on the Power Supply and adjust the voltage to
5.0 Volts. Have the TA or instructor check your settings before activating the
Power Supply. Use the Multimeter to measure the Voltage across each of the
resistors. Verify Kirchoff’s Voltage Law. Using Ohm’s Law, calculate the
current through each of the resistors. Verify Kirchoff’s Current Law.
V1 = ______ V2 = ______ I1 = ______ I2 = ______ I3 = ______
