INTRODUCTION TO LABORATORY INSTRUMENTS AND RESISTIVE
CIRCUITS
Objectives:
The aim of the first experiment is to become familiar with lab instruments, get an idea about their working structure and how to use them when necessary. In addition to that in the first part of the experiment our aim is to read color codes of resistors and get idea about how to use multimeter for resistor measurements. In the second part of the experiment our aim is to see
the operation of function generator and DC voltage source, how to use multimeter to measure
AC and DC voltage and how to use multimeter to measure AC and DC current. After completing these parts our aim is to see the operation oscilloscope and analyze simple circuits. Experimental work;
In the first part of the experiment we read the colors of given resistors. There were 4 resistors in the kit. Three of them were same because their colors at the right hand side were same an done of them was different. The color of 3 resistors were orange and other one was red so when we looked at the color code table our three resistors were 10.000 ohm and other resistor was 1000 ohm.
After using color table we determined the values of resistors by using multimeter. While measuring the values of the resistor by multimeter it is important to not to hold it by two hands since the human body has an effect on it and wrong values can appear that’s why we measured them by placing the resistors to board.
The results that we obtained are as follows:
First resistor = 10 k ohm= 10 000 ohm
Second resistor= 10.23 k ohm = 10230 ohm
Third resistor= 9.91 k ohm = 9910 ohm
Fourth resistor= 0.987 k ohm = 987 ohm
As seen in the results by using multimeter we obtained the values which are very close to actual values. The little deviations which occured can be because of little touches while trying to measure the values.
In the second part of the experiment we used oscilloscope and by following the
