1.2 INTRODUCTION
PART A: Resistor Color Coding Scheme
There are three types of resistor color coding available. They have different number of color
bands and hence provide different information.
Figure 2.2 below shows a common 1K resistor. From left to right, a 1K resistor will have brownblack-red-gold. This decodes respectively to 1 0 102 - 5 .
Take the first and second significant digits together to be 10. Then multiply by the multiplier 102.
That gives you 1000 as the resistor value, which is 1K. The tolerance band show that the
measured resistance can be off by plus or minus 5%. So the actual measured resistor value could
be anywhere from 950 to 1050.
Digital Display: display the measured quantity (sometimes the units are given) and the
range of the measurement.
Function/Range Switch: selects the function (voltmeter, ammeter, or ohmmeter) and the
range for the measurement.

3. After that, test the probe wire either it can produced sound or not.
4. Put the resistor on the breadboard. Then, test the connectivity of the resistor using
the multimeter probe wire.
5. Press SHIFT button.
6. Observed and recorded the resistance value in Table 2.4.

Reverse the multimeter probe and measure again. What do you observes?
The resistance value same as before.
The multimeter not produce a sound. No, there is no continuity between the
holes.
4. By using the resistors R1, R2, R3, construct the circuit shown in Figure 2.8 on the
real breadboard.
5. Using DMM measure the total resistance at terminal A-B and record them in table
2.5 below.
6. Repeat step 2-5 using the schematic diagram shown in Figure 2.9 above.

6. Reverse the lead wire connection and what is the meter reading, including its sign?
Why is it so?
Answer: -0.0066. It is because the lead wire connection has been reversed.
7. Using the result in Table 2.6 plot V vs. I on a graph paper given in Figure 2.12
8. Calculate the resistance value from the graph.
