Cover Memo The outcome of my electrical project was an outstanding achievement. I was able to work out my own plan to complete the circuit efficiently and effectively. My first mission was to come up with a set of legitimate calculations that would allow me to meet my criteria for the project. After successfully performing the calculations, this subsequently led me to start building my own circuit. Building the circuit became a challenge because I had to remember to align the voltage drops with the correct resistors. Overall, the project was a success! Without the correct use of mathematics this project would not have been possible. Mathematics allows solutions to problematic equations. That said, the circuit was an overall problematic equation that needed to be solved through mathematics. To fully understand the relevance of these mathematical problems, I first had to be aware of the different rules with building on an electrical circuit; rules such as Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's law. Being able to discern the correct use of series and parallel calculations played a critical role in completing this task. In the following sections, I will further elaborate on the pros and cons of electrical design. Abstract/Summary The purpose of this project was to apply the engineering design process to an electrical circuit problem. From writing the first basic problem statement to submitting the final lab report, this project was able to test my ability to use the various tools I acquired throughout the semester. These tools ranged from time management, attention to detail, simple mathematical calculations, and accuracy of calculations. In addition to building and testing a direct current (DC) volume...... middle of paper......f my actual voltage of 2,506.666. Once I have identified my possible series, I can begin completing my calculations. Node 3 was a complicated circuit. This set required 3 resistors in a parallel set and a series set. My goal was to get within 5% of 5,911.88. My calculations were 1/((1/220)+(1/220)+(1/220))+330+3,300+2,200. My last two knots took longer because I was limited to resistances at this point. To make this circuit successful, I created sets of parallel sets; each parallel set had 3 resistors each. This left me with enough resistors to complete the rest of the board without exceeding my limit. My project was a success and if it weren't for my sources everything would have been more complicated. My only advice is to better explain and simplify Kirchhoff's Law so that the student can be successful without too much self-taught references.
