ENGR. JAY S. VILLAN‚ MEP-EE Introduction A multitester or multimeter is a device which can be used to gather data about electrical circuits. A basic multitester can measure resistance‚ voltage‚ and continuity; while more advanced versions may be able to provide additional data. This tool can be very useful to have around the house‚ and anyone who plans on doing electrical repairs should most definitely use a multitester for safety reasons. Multitesters can be used with the current off or on in

Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The blue dots indicating the electrons move because there is a voltage across the battery in which the electrons flow away from the positive terminal

Introduction The resistance of a wire depends on certain factors. Some of these variables are listed below: Length of wire Diameter or thickness of wire Temperature at which wire is kept The material of which wire is made out of. The potential difference or voltage. Humidity Cross sectional area. Voltage across circuit All these factors will have to be kept constant except the diameter of the wire whilst doing the experiment to ensure that the investigation is

blue dots represent the flow of electrons. They are moving because they are experiencing an electric current force within the wire. Explain what a battery does in an electrical circuit? Refer to page 606 in your textbook. (3 points) A battery provides a source of electrical energy. A battery also converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Batteries have two voltage sources that have terminals that connect to wires in a circuit. One terminal is positive and another one is negative. Click in

to the field of electrical engineering. The objectives of the lab were to determine the resistance of a resistor using various methods and to also verify Ohm’s Law. In the lab‚ the students were instructed to calculate the resistance by using color codes‚ measuring the resistance using a Digital Multi Meter‚ calculate the average resistance from 10 voltage and current measurements‚ and find the graphical resistance using a trend line. The results show that the average resistance calculated from

Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The electrons move because of the battery voltage. The current flows in the opposing direction of the electrons and the electrons flow towards the positive
