 +Resistance can also be determined by a current/voltage measurement. 
 + 
 +**Ohm's law:** In a circuit, the current increases with increasing voltage and decreases with increasing resistance. 
 +

 +==== Kirchhoff's voltage law (loop law) ==== 
 + 
 +In every closed circuit and in every supply loop, the sum of all voltages is zero. 
 + 
 +Set the voltage on the bench power supply to $12 ~{\rm V}$ and measure this voltage accurately with a multimeter. Build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 3. 
 + 
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_3_loop_law.svg}}

 + 
 +==== Kirchhoff's current law (node law) ==== 
 + 
 +At every branch point, the sum of all currents flowing into and out of the node is zero. 
 + 
 +Set the voltage on the bench power supply to $12 ~{\rm V}$ and measure the voltage accurately with a multimeter. As a first step, build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 4. 
 + 
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_4_branch_currents.svg}} 
 + 
 +Draw the arrows for the directions of currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ in Figure 4. On both multimeters the DC current range and the polarity must be set before switching on. Then measure currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ and enter the measured values in Table 5.

 + 
 +==== Voltage divider as a voltage source (a) ==== 
 + 
 +The voltage divider shown in Figure 6 is initially in the unloaded condition, because the entire current supplied by the bench power supply flows through the series-connected resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$. A resistor connected in parallel with $R_2$ loads the voltage divider. 
 + 
 +Set the voltage on the bench power supply to $12 ~{\rm V}$ and measure the exact voltage with a multimeter. Build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 6. 
 + 
 +For the connected load $R_{\rm L} = 10 ~{\rm k}\Omega$, the voltage divider represents a voltage source. Like any voltage source, it has a source voltage (open-circuit voltage) $U_0$ and an internal resistance $R_{\rm i}$. The internal resistance of the voltage divider, regarded as a voltage source, results from the parallel connection of divider resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$: 
 + 
 +\\ 
 +$R_{\rm i} R_1 \parallel R_2 \frac{R_1 \cdot R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$ 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +Using the measured values of resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$, calculate the internal resistance of the voltage source and determine the source voltage: 
 + 
 +$R_{\rm i} =$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ </wrap> \\ 
 +$U_0 =$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ </wrap> 
 + 
 +The power supplied by the bench power supply $P_0$ can be calculated using the following equation: 
 + 
 +\\ 
 +$P_0 = U \cdot I_1$ 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +The power consumed by the load resistor can be determined using the following equation: 
 + 
 +\\ 
 +$P_{\rm L} = R_{\rm L} \cdot I_2^2$ 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_6_loaded_voltage_divider.svg}}

 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_6b_equivalent_voltage_source.svg}} 
 +

 +$I_2:$ <wrap onlyprint> \\ \\ \\ \\ </wrap> 
 + 
 +==== Non-linear resistors ==== 
 + 
 +All resistors investigated so far are linear resistors, for which the characteristic $I = f(U)$ is a straight line. See Figure 7. The resistance value of a linear resistor is independent of the current $I$ flowing through it or of the applied voltage $U$. 
 + 
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_7_linear_characteristic.svg}} 
 + 
 +For non-linear resistors there is no proportionality between current and voltage. The characteristic of such a resistor is shown in Figure 8. For these resistors one speaks of the static resistance $R$ and the dynamic (or differential) resistance $r$. 
 + 
 +The static resistance is determined for a particular operating point: at a given voltage, the current is read from the resistance characteristic. The calculation is carried out according to Ohm's law: 
 + 
 +\\ 
 +$R = \frac{U}{I}$ 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +The differential resistance around the operating point is calculated from the current difference caused by a change in the applied voltage: 
 + 
 +\\ 
 +$r = \frac{\Delta U}{\Delta I}$ 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_8_non_linear_characteristic.svg}} 
 + 
 +As an example of a non-linear resistor, an incandescent lamp is investigated. Build the measurement circuit shown in Figure 9. 
 + 
 +{{drawio>lab_electrical_engineering:1_dc_circuit_theory:figure_9_incandescent_lamp_measurement_circuit.svg}} 
 + 
 +Set the bench power supply to the voltage values from Table 7. Measure the corresponding current values and enter them in Table 7.
