| + | |||
| + | Conventional current direction: current flows from positive to negative. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Direct resistance measurement ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Determine the nominal value and the measured value of the resistance of $R_1$ (brown, green, orange), $R_2$ (yellow, violet, red), $R_3$ (red, violet, red) and the incandescent lamp $R_{\rm L}$. Also measure the approximate resistance $R_{\rm K}$ of your body from your right hand to your left hand. | ||

| + | <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | |||
| + | What consequences can $R_{\rm K}$ have? | ||

| + | |||
| + | $R_{\rm series} = R_{\rm a} + R_{\rm b}$ | ||
| + | |||
| + | $R_{\rm parallel} = (R_{\rm a} \parallel R_{\rm b}) = \frac{R_{\rm a} \cdot R_{\rm b}}{R_{\rm a} + R_{\rm b}}$ | ||

| + | ==== Kirchhoff' | ||
| + | |||
| + | In every closed circuit and in every supply loop, the sum of all voltages is zero. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Set the voltage on the bench power supply to $12 ~{\rm V}$ and measure this voltage accurately with a multimeter. Build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 3. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Complete the voltage arrows and measure $U$, $U_1$ and $U_2$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ $U$ ^ $U_1$ ^ $U_2$ ^ | ||
| + | | | | | | ||

| + | The resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$ connected in series form a voltage divider. In what ratio are the voltages $U_1$ and $U_2$? | ||
| + | |||
| + | $U_1 / U_2 =$ <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Kirchhoff' | ||
| + | |||
| + | At every branch point, the sum of all currents flowing into and out of the node is zero. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Set the voltage on the bench power supply to $12 ~{\rm V}$ and measure the voltage accurately with a multimeter. As a first step, build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 4. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Draw the arrows for the directions of currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ in Figure 4. On both multimeters the DC current range and the polarity must be set before switching on. Then measure currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ and enter the measured values in Table 5. | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | In what ratio are currents $I_1$ and $I_2$? | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | Using the measured values of resistors $R_1$, $R_2$ and $R_3$, calculate the total resistance $R_{\rm KP}$. | ||
| + | <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Using the calculated value of $R_{\rm KP}$, verify the measured value of the total current: | ||
| + | |||
| + | $I = \frac{U}{R_{\rm KP}} =$ <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Voltage divider as a voltage source (a) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The voltage divider shown in Figure 6 is initially in the unloaded condition, because the entire current supplied by the bench power supply flows through the series-connected resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$. A resistor connected in parallel with $R_2$ loads the voltage divider. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Set the voltage on the bench power supply to $12 ~{\rm V}$ and measure the exact voltage with a multimeter. Build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 6. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the connected load $R_{\rm L} = 10 ~{\rm k}\Omega$, the voltage divider represents a voltage source. Like any voltage source, it has a source voltage (open-circuit voltage) $U_0$ and an internal resistance $R_{\rm i}$. The internal resistance of the voltage divider, regarded as a voltage source, results from the parallel connection of divider resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | $R_{\rm i} = R_1 \parallel R_2 = \frac{R_1 \cdot R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Using the measured values of resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$, calculate the internal resistance of the voltage source and determine the source voltage: | ||
| + | |||
| + | $R_{\rm i} =$ <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | $U_0 =$ <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The power supplied by the bench power supply $P_0$ can be calculated using the following equation: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | $P_0 = U \cdot I_1$ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The power consumed by the load resistor can be determined using the following equation: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | $P_{\rm L} = R_{\rm L} \cdot I_2^2$ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | Draw the equivalent voltage source of the voltage divider: | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||

| + | $I_2:$ <wrap onlyprint> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Non-linear resistors ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | All resistors investigated so far are linear resistors, for which the characteristic $I = f(U)$ is a straight line. See Figure 7. The resistance value of a linear resistor is independent of the current $I$ flowing through it or of the applied voltage $U$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | For non-linear resistors there is no proportionality between current and voltage. The characteristic of such a resistor is shown in Figure 8. For these resistors one speaks of the static resistance $R$ and the dynamic (or differential) resistance $r$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The static resistance is determined for a particular operating point: at a given voltage, the current is read from the resistance characteristic. The calculation is carried out according to Ohm's law: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | $R = \frac{U}{I}$ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The differential resistance around the operating point is calculated from the current difference caused by a change in the applied voltage: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | $r = \frac{\Delta U}{\Delta I}$ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
