TITLE : Measurement of Resistor Value

OBJECTIVES : At the end of this experiment, students should be able to


i) Determine the resistance value using color code table
ii) Calculate the tolerance value for given resistor
iii) Measure the resistor value using multimeter

EQUIPMENT LIST : i) Analog Multimeter & Digital Multimeter


ii) Variable DC power supply
iii) Bread board
iv) Wire clips
v) Resistors
vi) Calculator

THEORY:

The resistor is a component that limits the flow of current in a circuit. There is a large selection of resistor
depends on its suitability in the circuit. Resistor can be categorized into two types which are fixed and
variable. The value of the fixed resistor is determined by the color code or the value printed. Resistor
commonly has four bands. Table 1 shows the value of colour band for a resistor. To calculate and enter the
percentage error, we need to use the following formula:

Percentage Error = [(Nominal value– Measured value) / Nominal value] x 100%
