1. In Figure 13, if another pair of resistors was added across R6, would Vo go up,
down, or stay the same? Why?
2. In Figure 13, if R4 was accidentally opened would this change the potentials at B, C
and D? Why or why not?
3. If the DMM leads are reversed in Step 5, what happens to the measurements in
Table 17?
4. Suppose that R3 and R4 are accidentally swapped in Figure 14. What is the new
VAB?

Objective
The objective of this exercise is to continue the exploration of basic series-parallel DC
circuits. The basic ladder network and bridge are examined. A key element here is the
concept of loading, that is, the effect that a sub-circuit may have on a neighboring sub-
circuit.

Procedure
1. Consider the circuit of Figure 13. R5 and R6 form a simple series connection.
Together, they are in parallel with R4. Therefore, the voltage across R4 must be the
same as the sum of the voltages across R5 and R6. Similarly, the current entering node
C from R3 must equal the sum of the currents flowing through R4 and R5. This three-
resistor combination is in series with R3 in much the same manner than R6 is in series
with R5. These four resistors are in parallel with R2, and finally, these five resistors are
in series with R1. Note that to find the voltage at node B the voltage divider rule may be
used, however, it is important to note that VDR cannot be used in terms of R1 versus
R2. Instead, R1 reacts against the entire series-parallel combination of R2 through R6.
Similarly, R3 reacts against the combination of R4, R5 and R6. That is to say R5 and
R6 load R4, and R3 through R6 load R2. Because of this process note that Vo must be
less than Vc, which must be less than Va, which must be less than VA. Thus, the circuit
may be viewed as a sequence of loaded voltage dividers.

2. Construct the circuit of Figure 13 using R1 330 Q, R2 = 1 ko, R3 = 1.0 k2, R4 = 2.0
kQ, R5 5.1 kQ,R6 = 10 k and E = 5 volts. Based on the observations of Step 1,
determine the theoretical voltages at nodes A, B, C and D, and record them in Table
14. Measure the potentials with a DMM, compute the deviations and record the results
in Table 15.
3. Based on the theoretical voltages found in Table 15, determine the currents through
R1, R2, R4 and R6. Record these values in Table 16. Measure the currents with a
DMM, compute the percent deviations and record the results in Table 16.
4. Consider the circuit of Figure 14. In this bridge network, the voltage of interest is VA.
This may be directly computed from VA- Vs. Assemble the circuit using R1 = 1 kg, R2
= 5.1 km, R3 = 5.1 k2, R4 = 10.0 k2 and E = 5 volts. Determine the theoretical values
for VA, Ve and VAB and record them in Table 17. Note that the voltage divider rule is very
effective here as the R1 R2 branch and the R3 R4 branch are in parallel and therefore
both "see" the source voltage.
5. Use the DMM to measure the potentials at A and B with respect to ground, the red
lead going to the point of interest and the black lead going to ground. To measure the
voltage from A to B, the red lead is connected to point A while the black is connected
to point B. Record these potentials in Table 17. Determine the percent deviations and
record these in Table 17.
