ENGINEERING-43 Superposition Lab-06 Lab Data Sheet – ENGR-43 Lab-06 Lab Logistics Experimenter: H. Nguyen and L. J. Omictin Recorder: L. J. Omictin and H. Nguyen Date: 17March2010 Equipment Used (maker, model, and serial no. if available) Tektronix CDM250 3½-Digit Digital MultiMeter (DMM), S/N = IW12844 Tektronix PS280 DC Voltage/Power Supply, S/N = TW52716 Directions 1. Note that in this and ALL OTHER Laboratory Exercises ENGINEERING UNITS must accompany ALL Data-Entries and Calculated-Quantities 2. Check out a DMM and Power/Probe Leads for the Power-Supply and DMM 3. Go to the side counter, collect resistors, “bread board”, and leads required to construct the circuit shown in Figure 1. 4. Table I, Table III, and Table III. Deactivate a power supply by removing its leads and replacing the supply with a short to GND. See Figure-2 and Figure-3 Take care to use the Proper POLARITY When Measuring the Ij and VRj o Use the PASSIVE SIGN CONVENTION for consistent measurements Always ASSUME that currents flow in the direction shown in Figure 1 5. Return all lab hardware to the “as-found” condition 6. Show mathematically how the Vs1-Only and Vs2-Only currents and potentials SUPERPOSE (add or subtract) to yield the BOTH-Active values. Draw Circuit Diagrams for the three cases and complete Table IV o Perform calculations using the measured supply-potentials and resistance values.

R1 = 0.8-1.6 kΩ (1 kΩ nominal). R2 = 2.7-4 kΩ (3kΩ nominal), R3 = 1.5-3 kΩ (2 kΩ nominal). Approximate R1:R2:R3 value-ratio = 1:3:2 NOTE The “+” Side of Vs1 and Vs2 MUST always: Be Separated by at least one resistor Have a RESISTIVE path to GND Table I – Resistance Measurements Value Determination R1 R2 R3 ColorCode 15E2 Ω, ±10% 33E2 Ω, ±10% 27E2 Ω, ±5% Measured 1.610 kΩ 3.48 kΩ 2.80 kΩ Table II – Voltage Supply Measurements Value Determination Vs1 Vs2 Nominal 9.0000 V 12.0000 V Measured 8.98 V 12.08 V © Bruce Mayer, PE • Chabot College • 282217135 • Page 2 Figure 2 • DEACTIVATE source Vs2 by REPLACING it with a WIRE which ensures that the POTENTIAL ACROSS Vs2 is now ZERO.
