 +==== 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.

 +
 +Resistance can also be determined by a current/voltage measurement.
 +
 +**Ohm's law:** In a circuit, the current increases with increasing voltage and decreases with increasing resistance.
 +
 +\\
 +$ I = \frac{U}{R} $

 +==== Kirchhoff's voltage law (loop law) ====
 +
 +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>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_3_loop_law.svg}}
 +
 +Complete the voltage arrows and measure $U$, $U_1$ and $U_2$.

 +
 +==== Kirchhoff's current law (node law) ====
 +
 +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>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_4_branch_currents.svg}}
 +
 +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.

 +
 +==== 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> \\ \\ </wrap> \\
 +$U_0 =$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ </wrap>
 +
 +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:
 +
 +\\
 +$P_{\rm L} = R_{\rm L} \cdot I_2^2$
 +\\
 +
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_6_loaded_voltage_divider.svg}}
 +
 +==== Voltage divider as a voltage source (b) ====

 +Draw the equivalent voltage source of the voltage divider:
 +
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_6b_equivalent_voltage_source.svg}}
 +
 +What value would $U_2$ have without $R_{\rm L}$?
 +$U_{2,0} =$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ </wrap>
 +
 +Calculate $U_{2{\rm L}}$ and $I_2$ for $R_{\rm L} = 10 ~{\rm k}\Omega$ using the values of the equivalent voltage source. State the formulae used.

 +

 +
 +$U_{2{\rm L}}:$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ \\ \\ </wrap>
 +
 +$I_2:$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ \\ \\ </wrap>
 +
 +==== 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>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_7_linear_characteristic.svg}}
 +
 +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:
 +
 +\\
 +$r = \frac{\Delta U}{\Delta I}$
 +\\
 +
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_8_non_linear_characteristic.svg}}
 +
 +As an example of a non-linear resistor, an incandescent lamp is investigated. Build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 9.
 +
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_9_incandescent_lamp_measurement_circuit.svg}}
 +
 +Set the bench power supply to the voltage values from Table 7. Measure the corresponding current values and enter them in Table 7.
