Title: Part One - Measuring Simple Circuits
Course: Open ELT106 Fundamentals of DC/AC > Section: MODULE 2: Basic Circuits & Materials, Energy, and Electricity

Purpose:

To quantitatively study Ohms Law in a DC Circuit Method: Construct a single resistor closed circuit, predict voltages and currents using Ohms Law, and make comparative empirical measurements using a highly accurate digital multi-meter.

Procedure:

1. From your resistor collection draw twelve resistors at random.
2. Log the color codes of each of these resistors in a word processing document file.
3. Read the color codes and post the corresponding values in Ohms that you determined from each color code.
4. Now measure each resistor with a digital Ohm-meter and log these values.
5. Self evaluate how well you read the color codes and measured the resistor values. (Tell me how you think you did)
6. You can repeat this procedure until you feel proficient in reading and setting the color code for various values of resistance.
7. Submit your word processed data log file here in canvas.
