ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the basic circuit laws and theorems by using the Analog Discovery board. It also explores the circuit laws and theorems that include Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, Kirchhoff's Current Law, Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems and discusses the linearity principle. Linearity property describes a linear relation between cause and effect. The linearity property is the combination of the homogeneity property and the additive property. The additive property says that the response to a sum of inputs is the sum of the responses to each input when applied separately. Use the voltmeter to measure the input and output voltages. Increase the source voltage from 1 to 5 V with increments of 1 V. Record people measurements. For the circuit use the Analog Discovery board to show that the sum of voltages across the resistors is the same as the voltage of the dc source.
