Electrical Circuit Lab

Electrical circuits are the basis of electrical systems used in various engineering fields such as power, control, communications, signal processing and programming.
In this laboratory, the student will carry out several experiments to clarify and enhance what he has studied in the theoretical course of electrical circuits, like measuring current and voltage for any element in an electrical circuit in which sources of voltages and constant currents are located, as well as the application of several concepts such as Ohm’s law, methods of connecting resistors in series or parallel or both ways.
It also includes verifying the methods of solving the electrical circuit using Kirchhoff’s Laws, the transformation of sources and several other methods.
Lab objectives
