Title: The Experiment's name (Introduction to Equipment & Common
Components)

Student Name: (Omar Hussam Alshawabkeh)


Student ID: (202110084)

Abstract:
This experiment focuses on utilizing laboratory tools and techniques to accurately measure
resistance values using both a resistor table and a multimeter. By comparing the measurements
from each method, we aim to calculate the error margin and assess the precision of each
approach. This process highlights the importance of calibration and methodical measurements
in lab settings.
Introduction:
This experiment aims to compare the resistance values obtained from two methods: the rated
resistance, determined based on the resistor’s color code, and the measured resistance,
obtained using a multimeter. By comparing these values, we calculate the percentage error to
evaluate the accuracy of the multimeter measurements.The error percentage is calculated using
the following equation: Error Percentage=
|Measured Resistance−Rated Resistance / Rated Resistance|×100%

Materials and Equipment:

Procedures and Methods:


• We began by selecting a random resistor and identifying the number of color code bands it had.

• Next, we read and recorded the color bands of the resistor in a table, noting the last band to
document its tolerance value.

• We then placed the same resistor onto a breadboard to measure its resistance in the circuit.

• Using a handheld multimeter, we connected the multimeter leads in parallel with the resistor and
recorded the measured resistance value in the table.

• Finally, we calculated the percentage error between the rated and measured resistance values
using the equation provided above.

Discussion:
The 4-, 5-, and 6-band color code resistors differ in terms of their color codes, resistance values,
and reference tables. For example, when working with a 4-band resistor, we refer to the specific
table for 4-band resistors, and similarly, each resistor type requires its respective table.

To determine the rated resistance, we consulted the resistor color code table. For each band,
we identified the color on the left side of the table. For example, if the first band is red, we refer
to the table, find the corresponding value, and assign it as the first digit. We then repeat this
process for each color band, building the resistance value digit by digit.

To obtain the measured resistance, we connected a multimeter to the resistor on the


breadboard, ensuring a parallel connection with wires. The multimeter displayed the measured
resistance, which we recorded.

Finally, we calculated the error percentage using the equation provided above. The small
discrepancies observed between the rated and measured resistance values are likely due to the
resistance of the wires, which we did not include in our calculations.

Conclusion:
We successfully measured resistance using both the color code table and a multimeter and
calculated the percentage error to assess measurement accuracy.
