Activity 23-2: Combinations of Batteries(a) Predict the voltage for each combination of batteries in Fig 23-2. Write
you prediction beside the meter symbols.(b) Measure the voltages you predicted and write them below the predicted
values on the figure.
Using a MultimeterA digital multimeter (DMM) is a device that can be used to measure either current, voltage or resistance depending on how it is set up. We have already used one to measure voltage. The following activity will give you some practice in using it as an ohmmeter. You will need:! ! • A digital multimeter! ! • A D-cell alkaline battery w/ holder ! ! • A SPST switch! ! • 4 alligator clip wires! ! • 1 resistor, 10 Ω

Comments"Can we do problems using the junction and loop rule with number values for the battery and resisters?"

This symbolic expression of the answer is very useful. We’ll need to substitute somevalues in order to get the values of the currents that we’ll be measuring. In order toassign a numerical value to a symbol use the colon (:).
First enter the voltages. We use volts as default unit.
(%i6) E1:4.5;
(%o6) 4.5
(%i7) E2:1.5;
(%o7) 1.5
Now specify the resistors in ohms.

(%o8) 68
(%i9) R2:100;
(%o9) 100
(%i10) R3:39;

In order to evaluate the symbolic expressions for the currents type the label of theequations and append ”numer” to force a numerical evaluation.

Comments"Please explain Kirchhoff in human language."How can you have a voltage drop across a battery and a voltage gain across a resistor”
"What way does current flow from A to B?". Also, if charges flow through a resistance, then why does I(before) = I(after)? Does the resistance not slow down the current (charge speed)?"The Blue Wire"The whole concept of the joined 2 parallel curcuits

Figure 6.1: Bad and Good breadboarding technique.
• Try to build your circuit so that it looks like its circuit diagram:
– Let signal flow in from the left, exit on the right (in this case, the “signal” is justV ; the “output” is just I, read on the ammeter);
– Place ground on a horizontal breadboard bus strip below your circuit. When youreach circuits that include negative supply, place that on a bus strip below theground bus.
– Use colour coding to help you follow your own wiring: use black for ground, redfor the positive supply. Such colour coding helps a little now, a lot later, whenyou begin to lay out more complicated digital circuits.
Figure 6.2 shows bad and good examples of breadboard layouts. Figure 6.3 showsthe layout of a typical breadboard. Typically, one places components in the middlegroups with vertical interconnects and power lines and grounds in the horizontalinterconnects at top and bottom.

– Let signal flow in from the left, exit on the right (in this case, the “signal” is justV ; the “output” is just I, read on the ammeter);
– Place ground on a horizontal breadboard bus strip below your circuit. When youreach circuits that include negative supply, place that on a bus strip below theground bus.
– Use colour coding to help you follow your own wiring: use black for ground, redfor the positive supply. Such colour coding helps a little now, a lot later, whenyou begin to lay out more complicated digital circuits.
Figure 6.2 shows bad and good examples of breadboard layouts. Figure 6.3 showsthe layout of a typical breadboard. Typically, one places components in the middlegroups with vertical interconnects and power lines and grounds in the horizontalinterconnects at top and bottom.

Use horizontal rows for voltage busses: +5V, ±12V, gnd.
Use vertical rows for connecting components
together.

Figure 6.1: Bad and Good breadboarding technique.
• Try to build your circuit so that it looks like its circuit diagram:
– Let signal flow in from the left, exit on the right (in this case, the “signal” is justV ; the “output” is just I, read on the ammeter);
– Place ground on a horizontal breadboard bus strip below your circuit. When youreach circuits that include negative supply, place that on a bus strip below theground bus.
– Use colour coding to help you follow your own wiring: use black for ground, redfor the positive supply. Such colour coding helps a little now, a lot later, whenyou begin to lay out more complicated digital circuits.
