Workbook 1
Activity 1.1: Actual voltage across 5V breadboard pins.
Enter the Value you got here from Step 5.
Activity 1.2: Actual voltage across 3.3V breadboard pins.
Explain in around 100 words why you think the value read by a multi meter on a circuit, may be different
to a simulator value such as TinkerCad.
If the read value is 4.84V on a 5V supply, what would be a sensible tolerance to quote, explain your
answer.
4.88 758 V
Losses experienced in the multimeter readings within the device whereas the simulation software
rids off the equipment errors. The breadboard to multimeter connection experiences resistive
losses from the equipment itself when reading analogue inputs or power input whereas with the
TinkerCAD simulation, the results are ideal as the equipment are calibrated to the data sheet
values.
3.2258 V
= –
?100%
= 5? 4.84
5 ?100%
= 3.2%
This is a sensible tolerance level as nominal voltage for line voltage in real life application is set
for voltage fluctuations [ -5%, 5%].
Activity 1.3: Potential Divider Calculations
Show the working on how you achieved 2.5V
= ? 1
1+ 6
= 5? 220
220 + 220 = 2.5
The potential divider is computed as:
Using two resistors of the same value. R1 = 220 ohms, R2 = 220ohms
Activity 1.4: 3V Calculations from either the 5V supply or 3.3V supply
Activity 1.5: Voltage Divider circuit readings from Breadboard circuit.
Activity 1.6: LED Circuits
Each resistor Value
3= 5? 1
1+ 6 ? 0.6 5+ 6 = 1
0.41= 0.62
1= 1.52
3= 3.3? 1
1+ 2 ? 0.909 1+ 2 = 1
0.091 1= 0.909 2
1= 9.98 2
To get 3V, with a 5V input,
With 3.3V input,
Vin = 4.84 V
Vout = 3.25 V
220 ohms 220 ohms
Total resistance Calculation
Measured Resistance
If measured resistance is not the same, why not? If you simulated this, why might the real value be
different.
= 1+ 6 ? 1
56
= 440
220 ?220 = 0.0091 ?
R1 || R2
0.005 ohms
Losses due to equipment noises.
Activity 1.7: Current Measurement
Calculation of current flowing into LED
Actual measured value of current
Why might they be different?
0.022 amps
0.05 amps
Due to difference in the resistance simulated as compared to the physical equipment values.
