Electrical Engineering Lab 2

1) The lab report describes experiments with resistors to understand color coding, decoding values, and combining resistors in series and parallel configurations. 2) Calculations are shown for combining resistors in series, parallel, and mixed series-parallel configurations. Measured resistance values using a multimeter are compared to calculated values. 3) Hardware photos document building the resistor circuits on a breadboard and measuring configurations including three resistors in series, four in series, three in parallel, and more complex mixed configurations.

Lab report 2
Title:
 Introduction to resistor and its combinations.
 To understand how to decode resistors with the help of color coding.
 To explore resistors combinations to achieve specific resistance values.
Component required:
 Resistors
 Wires
Equipment required:
 Breadboard
 Digital multimeter
Procedure:
Part A: Resistor color decoding
 Select a resistor with color bands and record it, s sequence.
 Using the resistor color code chart, decode the resistance values.
 Measure the resistance value using a multimeter to verify the decoded value.
 Repeat the process for different resistors.
Part B: Resistors combination:
 Choose two or more resistors and record their resistance values.
 Calculate the total resistance of the resistors in series and in parallel using the
appropriate formulas.
 Assemble the resistors in the calculated configurations (series and parallel) on
a breadboard.
 Measure the total resistance of each configuration using a multimeter.
 Compare the measured values with the calculated ones.
