    1. Students learn to measure electrical quantities like resistance, voltage, and current in series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. 2. The experiment involves using color codes to determine nominal resistor values, measuring actual resistance with a multimeter, and using Ohm's law to calculate voltage and current in circuits. 3. Students construct circuits on a breadboard and record voltage, current, resistance, and power measurements in tables to analyze series, parallel, and complex resistor circuits.

    Experiment 2:
    Measurement of electrical quantities in series, parallel and series-parallel circuits
    Student learn
    1. To determine the values of a selection of resistors using three different methods:
     Using color codes (to gives the nominal value)
     Using the digital ohmmeter
     Using the ohms law
    2. To determine the qualitatively the effect of increased power dissipation on carbon resistor.
    3. To learn how to patch the series circuits on the breadboard.
    4. To learn how to patch the parallel circuits on the breadboard.
    5. To learn how to patch complex resistive circuits on the breadboard.

    Pre-Lab.

    Find Req If the values of resistors have 1kohm.

    Apparatus
     Breadboard
     Digital Multimeter (DMM)
     Power supply
     Resistors

    Theory
    a) The basic relationship between voltages, current and resistance is determined by ohm’s law.
    V = IR
    Where V voltages across the resistor in (Volts) I current through the resistor in (amperes)
    R = resistance of resistor in (ohms)
    b) Given any resistor, its resistance can be found by one of three methods:
    i. Using the color codes. This value is called the nominal value, and it is only
    approximate.
    ii. Direct measurement using an ohmmeter

    iii. Measuring the voltage across the resistor and current through resistor then
    applying ohms law.
    c) The product of the voltages across a resistor and current through the resistor gives power p (in
    watts) namely:
    P = VI = I2R = V2R
    The power absorbed by the resistors appears in the form of heat. The physical size of the resistor
    determines the amount of power that it can safely dissipate. This amount is referred to as the power
    rating.
    The dissipation of power that exceeds the power rating can damage the resistor physically. When the
    resistor gets heated due to excessive power dissipation, its resistance changes. It will either increase of
    decrease depending on the temperature coefficient. A carbon resistance is expected to decrease as the
    temperature increases.

    Laboratory tasks
    1. Get 5 set of resistor. Find the nominal values and the tolerance of each resistors using the color
    codes. Introduction to resistance colour code (black 0, Brown 1, Red 2 ,Orange 3 ,Yellow 4 ,Green
    5 ,Blue 6 ,Violet 7 ,Gray 8, White 9(BBROY Great Goes Britain via Germany west).
    2. Using the digital Multimeter as an ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of each resistor.
    3. Connect the circuit as shown in figure for R = 1000 ohms and perform the following :
    a. Set the source voltage v to 5V
    b. Measure v and I (Note : connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel)
    c. Multiply measured V and I to know about the power across the resistor.
    d. Repeat steps 3a , 3b , 3c for remaining resistors (preferably use R>1000 ohms to limit the
    current)
    e. Record your results in table 1:

    4. Connect the circuit shown in fig below and measure the current and voltages across each resistor.
    From the values of V and I and also find out the power across every resistor and record your
    results in table 2.
