Essay / Applying the Engineering Project Design Process to a...
RE: Electrical Lab ReportThe goal of this project was to apply the engineering design process to a simple electrical circuit problem. The goal is to design and build a specific electrical circuit. A small breadboard, 25 common resistors, and jumper cables were provided to construct a voltage divider. The project requires students to understand Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws of current and voltage. The project can be divided into two parts. The first part is to solve for the voltage drop and resistance needed to drop that much voltage. The second part is to use the resistors that have been assigned to achieve the previously calculated resistance. In order to have as much resistance as needed, resistors must be in series, parallel and combination. The individual electrical circuits were tested in class and the result of my design was quite successful. All voltage drops between nodes were very close to those specified.

Actual node-to-ground voltages will be compared to those specified on your test data sheet. A tolerance of less than +/- 5% is expected for each voltage reading.4. We give five resistors each 220 Ω, 330 Ω, 2200 Ω, 3300 Ω and 10,000 Ω. Assumptions:+_The voltage drop and resistance between the nodes will be: V1 = 5.719 V R1 = 6354 Ω V2 = 4.8203 V R2 = 5355 Ω V3 = 3.784 V R3 =4204 ΩV4=2.3857 V R4=2650, 8ΩV5=1.291V R5=1434ΩGeneral information:1. Electricity: “Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom and electricity is the flow of electrons. The electricity must travel a complete path, or loop, before the electrons can move. (Pre-class reading of electrical theory)2. Ohm's Law: Ohm's law is the relationship between voltage, current and resistance..
