EXPERIMENT # 1

I. Title: Resistance Measurement Date Performed: __________________
II. Objectives:
1. To be able to know the value of the resistance of a resistor using color code;
2. To be able to measure the value of the resistance of a resistor using an ohmmeter;
3. To be able to compare the color code value and the ohmmeter value and compute for
percent error.
III. Materials:
5 resistors (Different value)
1 Ohmmeter
IV. Procedure:
1. Identify which of the resistors is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2. Fill in the data needed in the Tables below
