PART B Remove the voltmeter and ammeter connections
Adjust the supply voltage (Vs) to 15V. (Note the value must be kept constant throughout the test by connecting voltmeter across the voltage supply in the circuit to observe the voltage.) Switch off the supply. Connect the ammeter in position A. Switch on the supply. Read the current through resistor R1. Current through R1 Connect the voltmeter across R1 and measure the voltage drop across it. Voltage across R1 Repeat 3 until 5 for the ammeter positions B, C, and D and the voltmeter positions across resistors R2 and R3. Record the voltage for close and open loop. Fill up the measured values in Table 1.3

PART C A B C D Adjust the supply voltage 15V. (Note the value of the supply voltage and keep it constant throughout the test.) Switch off the supply. Connect the ammeter in position A, the total current, ITotal. Switch on the supply. Measure voltage across resistor R1 Place the ammeter at positions B, C, and D and the voltmeter positions across resistors R2 and R3. Be careful not to touch R3 during measurement as it might be hot. Fill up the measured values in Table 1.4.
