Place the resistors in holes that are not commonly connected on
the breadboard. Using the multimeter, place the red probe on one
end of one resistor and the black probe on the other end. Measure
the resistance. Resistors do not have a polarity so it doesnt
matter which side of the resistor has the red or black probe.
Repeat for the second resistor and third.When three resistors are
placed in series in a circuit, the equivalent resistance is the sum
of the individual resistances. Place your three resistors in series
on the breadboard by placing one end of each resistor in commonly
connected holes, and measure the equivalent resistance by placing
the red and black probes on the other two ends of the
resistors.When three resistors are placed in parallel in a circuit,
the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance is the sum of the
reciprocal of the individual resistances. For two resistors in
parallel, place your two resistors in parallel on the breadboard by
placing both ends of the resistors in commonly connected holes, and
measure the equivalent resistance.The
ConclusionThe objective of this lab have been obtained
successfully. This experiment introduces the basic electronic
components we will use in the course, the resistor, colour code
reading, schematic diagram, wiring a circuit, and the digital
multimeter. Spend enough time in the lab this week to become
familiar with the components. We also have construct resistive
circuit such as series, parallel, and series parallel on the
breadboard. Now we are familiar with this components and known the
function of the each components as well as resistor colour code.
This will be useful for our upcoming lab experiments.
