ANALYSIS

This experiment was divided into three parts, the first two parts is about determining the
characteristics of the two commonly use electrical measuring devices, the analog ammeter and the analog
voltmeter.

From the results of part A of the experiment which is about determining the characteristics of analog
ammeter, we determined the RT (input resistance of the ammeter) and the Vm (voltage that will cause full
scale deflection). In this part, VOM was really useful because we use it obtain these data. The data shows
small amount of input resistance, since ammeter is used to measure currents, small amount of input
resistance allows the flow of larger currents.

From the results of part B of the experiment, you can see that the input resistance for analog
voltmeter is very much larger than the input resistance of a analog ammeter. The input resistance of the
voltmeter here was obtained from measuring it across the input terminals by means of the VOM. From the
measured input resistance, we determine the Im by dividing it to the full scale reading of the voltmeter.

Using the given circuit in figure 1.1 in the laboratory manual, we have taken results by having
different values of resistor, refer to the preliminary data sheet. This is the last part of the experiment and
considered to be the important part. The proper use of the measuring device is important to obtain accurate
results in this part, also the correct use of other electrical components.

From the preliminary data sheet, you can observe that when the value of the resistor is larger, the
value of current is lower. This means that resistance is inversely proportional to current. To test the data we
gathered, we determine the value of the resistor using 3 different formulas and from these results, you can
see that it has small difference from the given resistor, this may means that the resistors are in good
conditions and the date we gathered was reliable.

Using the Tina Pro, you can see from the preliminary data sheet that the values gathered are almost
the same from the experimental values that we gathered.
