Theory
Ohm’s Law
For a complete circuit, there is a voltage across and current flows through a resistor.
The relationship between current and voltage for a resistor is known as Ohm’s Law.
The law is introduced by a German physicist, Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854). To be
specific:
Ohm’s Law state that the voltage, v across a resistor is directly proportional to the
current, i flowing through the resistor
In mathematical form, the relationship can be represented by:
v  iR
where R is resistance of a resistor. R is measured in ohm,  .

Kirchoff’s Laws
There are two Kirchoff’s Laws as follows:
i- Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL)
ii- Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)

TEE201/05 Electrical Circuits and Power July 2020


The KCL is based on the law of conservation of charge, which requires that the
algebraic sum of charges within a system cannot change.
Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a
node is zero
In mathematical form:
N

i
n 1
n 0

where N is the number of branches connected to the node and in is the nth current
entering or leaving the node.
For example, based on Figure 1.1,
5

i
n 1
n 0

i1  (i2 )  i3  i4  (i5 )  0
Based on the equation obtained, the equation could be rearranged as
i1  i3  i4  i2  i5
which may be interpreted as
Sum of currents entering a node = Sum of currents leaving the node

i5
i1

i4

i2 i3

Figure 1.1

The second law, KVL is formed based on the principle of conservation of energy,
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of all voltages around a
closed path (or loop) is zero

TEE201/05 Electrical Circuits and Power July 2020


In mathematical form:
M

v

where M is the number of voltages in the loop and vm is the mth voltage.

For example, based on Figure 1.2,

Based on the equation obtained, the equation could be rearranged as

Sum of voltage drops = Sum of voltage rises

Laboratory 4: DC Electric Motor
Objectives:
1. Understand the principles of a DC brushed motor.
2. Determine the characteristics of a DC brushed motor.

Equipment/Software:
1. Personal computer with up-to-date web browser.
2. Multisim Live.

Theory
Basic theories of a DC brushed motor

Electric motors can be divided into two major categories: DC and AC. The similarities
between them are:
1. The output torque is proportional to the input current.
2. The equivalent circuit for both DC and AC motors are similar, but DC motors are
powered by DC sources and AC motors are powered by AC sources.

The equivalent circuit of a motor is shown in Figure 4.1. The supply voltage is
represented by Vin, while the input current is represented by I.

Figure 4.1 Equivalent circuit of a DC brushed motor

The resistance of the motor coil is represented by R, while the inductance of the motor
coil is represented by L. The back emf of the motor, E is proportional to the rotational
speed of the motor, ω. Due to the motor is operating in DC instead of AC, the coil
inductance, L can be omitted in the measurements and calculations.
The equation obtained from the equivalent circuit in Figure 4.1 is:
Vin  I  R  E (1)

The back emf of the motor, E is proportional to the rotational speed of the motor, which
is also proportional to the change of magnetic field, dϕ, according to Faraday’s Law:
d
E (2)
dt

TEE201/05 Electrical Circuits and Power July 2020


The torque of the motor, Г can be calculated indirectly from the mechanical output
power of the motor, Pmech:
Pmech   (3)

The relation between the back emf, E, input current, I, and the torque of the motor, Г
can be written as:
E  I   (4)

Question 7 (15 marks)
Laboratory 5: Simulating Transformer in Multisim Live
Objectives
To simulate two common types of transformers in Multisim Live.

Equipment/Software:
1. Personal computer with up-to-date web browser.
2. Multisim Live.

Theory
Step Down Transformer
Figure 5.1 shows the circuit schematic of a basic step down transformer. On the left
terminals, it can take as input a 115VRMS sinusoid. It will then “step down” the voltage
to a 9VRMS sinusoid. It is simple to see that this transformer has a step down voltage
ratio of (115:9) or 12.78:1. The ratio for a transformer is set by having the same ratio
for the number of turns of wire in the primary coil to the number of turns or wire in the
secondary coil. As an example, if one wrapped the first coil with 10,000 turns of wire,
the secondary coil would then need to have 782.65 turns of wire to achieve the 12.78:1
ratio. Basic transformer equation is shown below:

𝑉𝑃 𝑁𝑃 𝐿𝑃
= =√
𝑉𝑆 𝑁𝑆 𝐿𝑆

VP = the primary voltage.


VS = the secondary voltage.
NP = the number of turns in the primary winding.
NS = the number of turns in the secondary winding.
LP = the primary inductance.
LS = the secondary inductance.

Figure 5.1: Step down transformer

TEE201/05 Electrical Circuits and Power July 2020


Center-Tapped Transformer
Figure 5.2 shows the circuit schematic of a center tapped step down transformer. The
center tapped transformer works almost similar to a normal transformer. The difference
lies in just the fact that its secondary winding is divided into two parts, so two individual
voltages can be acquired across the two line ends. The internal process is the same,
which is when an alternating current is supplied to the primary winding of the
transformer it creates a magnetic flux in the core, and when the secondary winding is
brought near, an alternating magnetic flux is also induced in the secondary winding as
the flux flows through the ferromagnetic iron core and changes its direction with each
and every cycle of the alternating current. In this way an alternating current also flows
through the two halves of the secondary winding of the transformer and flows to the
external circuit.

Figure 5.2: Center-Tapped Transformer

Note: In this example, we are using a 115VRMS to 18VRMS transformer. In a spec sheet
for a transformer, if you see the rating: 115VRMS to 18VRMS C.T. (center tapped), this
would indicate that the voltage from the top to the bottom of the secondary coil was
18VRMS.
