Result:

In the verification of Kirchhoff’s voltage law, we find that the sum of the applied voltage
from the source is equal to the sum of the voltage across the 10-ohm and 20-ohm resistors
connected in series.

Similarly, in the verification of Kirchhoff’s current law, we observe that the sum of the
current applied from the source is equal to the sum of the current flowing through the 10-
ohm and 20-ohm resistors connected in series.

Discussion:

In our first experiment for the verification of KVL (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law), we
connected two resistors in series and linked them to the source. Voltmeters were also
connected across each resistor to determine the voltage, and another voltmeter was
connected in parallel to the source. As we gradually increased the voltage from the
source, we observed that the sum of the voltage across the two resistors was nearly equal
to the applied voltage. Through calculations, we determined a percentage of error, which
could be attributed to factors such as the conductivity of the wire and other environmental
effects. This experiment successfully verifies Kirchhoff’s voltage law in the tested
circuit.

In our second experiment for the verification of KCL (Kirchhoff's Current Law), we
connected two resistors in parallel to each other, and this combination was connected in
series to the source. To determine the total current in the circuit, one ammeter was
connected in series to the main source, and two additional ammeters were connected in
series to each resistor to measure the current flowing through each resistor.
Experimentally, we found that the sum of the current flowing through each resistor was
nearly equal to the current flowing through the main source. Calculations revealed a
percentage of error, which might be due to factors such as the conductivity of the wire
and other environmental effects on the circuit. Consequently, this experiment
successfully verifies Kirchhoff’s current law in the tested circuit.

Conclusion:
The first experiment successfully verifies Kirchhoff’s voltage law, while the second
experiment successfully verifies Kirchhoff’s current law.
