Electrical Engineering Lab Session
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY SESSION 1
Title: RESISTOR NETWORKS
Name:Richard Lancaster
Date: 11th Sep 2010.Student Name: Richard Lancaster.
Id No: (09099972)
Course: B.Sc. Engineering Science
Subject: Electrical Engineering
Lecturer: Dr Martin Hayes
Objectives:
1. Introductory familiarisation with D.C measurements.
2. Introduction to the use of pSpice as a tool for emulating circuits. pSpice v9.1 can be downloaded from Moodle or via http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/schematic/013/ 3. Verification of the fundamental laws of Electrical Science.
4. Familiarise students with the process of Laboratory Report Writing and Submission for this module
EQUIPMENT:
Power Supply
Breadboard
Various Resistors
Multimeter
Leads
Laptop running pSpice Student Edition v9.1
Procedure
For each of the following circuits :-
(i) Generate a pSpice schematic that determines voltages and currents at all points of interest.
(ii) In a UL setting (note this step will be necessary only for Lab1 and one other lab during the course of the semester) experimentally determine the voltage at the Node A and the currents that are highlighted in each circuit.
(iii) For each circuit ensure that all results are presented in tabular form.
(iv) You should explicitly compare your experimental results with your pSpice output in the tables that you generate.
The conclusion/observation sections of your report should focus on how you have demonstrated the validity, or otherwise, of Kirchoff’s laws.
