12. Output devices¶
Group Assignment : measure the power consumption of an output device¶
For an output device, we chose LED. The below is the design of the board with LED , two types of resistance(1kΩ and 100Ω), and shunt resistance.
To figure out the color code of a shunt resistance, there is a useful app of Degikey Color Code Calcurator.
In this board, we could switch easily the resistor to use by changing the position of a jumper pin on the upper right.
Before measurement, we needed to understand the basic formula of the electricity.
-
Ohm’s law V(Voltage) = I (Intensity of electricity)x R(Resistance)
-
P = I x V [W]
The multimeter was necessary to measure voltage.
■In the case of 1kΩ¶
1.Measure voltage of each part.¶
A.Supply voltage:5.08V
B.Shunt resistance of 1Ω:2.4mV
C.Both ends of 1kΩ:2.36V
D.Both ends of LED:2.71V
A=B+C+D
2.Calcurate intensity of electricity by a shunt resistance.¶
V=IR (Ohm’s low)
I=V/R=2.4mV/1Ω=2.4mA(intensity of electricity in a shunt resistance.)
There should be same amount of electricity in LED and 1kΩ resistor.
3.Calculate voltage of 1kΩ resistor¶
V=IR V=2.4mA×1kΩ=2.4X1000mV=2400mV=2.4V
4.Calculate the power consumption of an output device(LED)¶
P[W]=IV=2.4mA×2.71V=6.504mW
5.Calculate the power consumption of whole circuit¶
P[W]=IV=2.4mA×5.08V=12.192mW
■In the case of 100Ω¶
1.Measure voltage of each part.¶
A.Supply voltage:5.07V
B.Shunt resistance of 1Ω:19.2mV
C.Both ends of 100Ω:1.95V
D.Both ends of LED:3.10V
A=B+C+D
2.Calcurate intensity of electricity by a shunt resistance.¶
V=IR (Ohm’s low)
I=V/R=19.2mV/1Ω=19,2mA(intensity of electricity in a shunt resistance.)
There should be same amount of electricity in LED and 100Ω resistor.
3.Calculate voltage of 1kΩ resistor¶
V=IR
V=19.2mA×100Ω=19.2X100mV=1920mV=1.92V
4.Calculate the power consumption of an output device(LED)¶
P[W]=IV=19.2mA×1.92V=36.864mW
5.Calculate the power consumption of whole circuit¶
P[W]=IV=19,2mA×5.07V=97.344mW
