9/7/17 Mesh Analysis I

Mesh Analysis | 

Date 9/7/17

Overview 
        Use mesh analysis to analysis the circuit in the figure below.
Pre-lab 
          Using the mesh analysis technique, find V1 and V2










V1 = 2.42 volts 

V2 = 4.44 volts 

Percentage error for V1 
                 ((2.42-2.35) / (2.35))*100 = % 2.98 error for V1 

Percentage error for V2 
                 ((4.44-4.36) / (4.36))*100 = % 2.07 error for V2 

Comments  
            Originally, despite having a slight understanding of breadboards, our calculated values were not matching our actual values because we had connected the ground node incorrectly. 
            After going home and simulating the same circuit on TinkerCad, I realized not only my mistake found in the ground node based on the photo I took, but was able to reconstruct correctly a simulated circuit using TinkerCad, resulting in fixing this error and having a small percentage error between our calculated and actual readings for V1 and V2.
