Figure 1: Experimental investigation of KVL and KCL.

1. Apply a voltage VS = 5 V to the circuit and measure the amplitude of V1, V2, V3, and V4.


V1 Measured = ____________ V2 Measured = ____________


V3 Measured = ____________ V4 Measured = ____________


2. Verify that KVL is satisfied in Loop 1 and Loop 2.
