-==== 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:
-\\
-$P_{\rm L} = R_{\rm L} \cdot I_2^2$
-\\

-$I_2:$ <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.
