ETron Circuit Labs“In this lab you’ll measure the currents coming into Node 1 with Meters E and B. You’ll measure the current out of Node 1 with Meter A. It’s fun to note that Meter E plus Meter B equal Meter A. By conducting this experiment you’ll see Kirchhoff’s Current Law in action.”Meter A Meter E24.00 mA16.00 mA8.00 mA78Lab 40 Kirchhoff’s Current LawObjective:In this Lab you will learn how to verify Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) with a multimeter.You will measure the currents coming into Node 1 with Meters E and B. You will measure the current out of Node 1 with Meter A. Notice that Meter E plus Meter B equals Meter A. This demonstrates Kirchhoff’s Current Law.Step 1 –InventoryUsing the Parts Inventory as shown on the right under the “Here’s What You’ll Need” section, place eachMeter B
