TTEC 4824 exp 1

Exp number one:
Identifying, Testing and Combining Resistors.
1) obtain 6 resistors of different values. You are the going to determine their value two ways:
.Use the colour code to calculate the value of the resistor

.Include the maximum and minimum tolerance value of each resistor

.Then measure the resistor value with a multimeter.

results are shown in the graph bellow:

2) Choose two resistors and record their individual ohm resistance value measured with a multimeter:

Resistor 1: 467ohm    Resistor 2: 814ohm

Put these two resistors together in series calculate and then measure their combine value

Calculated resistor 1, 2 in series: 1281ohm
Measured value: 1283ohm

Put these two resistors together in parallel calculate and then measure their combine value

Calculated resistor 1, 2 in parallel: 467ohm
Measured value: 467ohm

What principles of electricity have you demonstrated with this? Explain:

If the two resistors are put together in series the resistance is what the individual value if each resistor is added together so therefore in series the resistance equals 1281ohm. If the resistors are connected in parallel the resistance of the two is equal to the resistance of the lowest resistor supplied
