INTRODUCTION

A) Measuring Resistance using Colour Codes

Resistor:

A resistor is a two terminal electronic electric component designed to oppose current by producing a
voltage drop between its terminals. The ohm is SI-units of electrical resistance. The symbol for
resistor is given by.
 R
The value of the resistance can be measured by ohmmeter, which may be one function of multimeter
and also using colour coding technique.

Four band resistors;

It is most commonly used in colour coding scheme of all resistors. It consists of four coloured bands.

 Band A is first significant figure of component value

 Band C is the second significant figure
 Band C is the decimal multiplier
 Band D means tolerance of value in percent

Each colour corresponds to certain digits

Steps to Calculate Resistance;
To calculate the value of resistance we used following steps;

Step one; We turned the resistor so that the gold or silver stripe is at the right end of the of resistor.

Step two; We looked at the colour of first two strips at the left end. These corresponds to the first two
digits of resistor value. Use the table above to find the both values.

Step three; We looked at the strip on the left. This corresponds to the value which is multiplied to
previous value.

Step four; The four strip indicates the value of tolerance which indicates accuracy of resistor.

Procedure
1- At First we connected the one resistance on the bread board in series and make connections.
2- Now we use connecting wires to apply voltage source.
3- Connect the clip from voltage source to complete the circuit.
4- Now turn the voltage source, and adjust it to 5V.
5- For the current, first change the DMM probe to where it measures current and also change the
knob to the current measuring side.
6- Now we break the circuit from anywhere and then complete the circuit through DMM.
7- We repeated this for several values using different resistors.
8- And then we noted all values in the following table.

CALCULATIONS and RESULT

calculations R V mA current (mA) %

1 2.6 5V 1.78 1.9 3.7

2 6.82 5V 0.70 0.733 4.10
3 3.25 5V 1.47 1.53 3.9
4 3.30 5V 1.37 1.43 4.19

Conclusions
 We concluded that calculated value and given value of resistance was not exactly the same but
there is some difference between both values. This difference was might be because of
inaccurate multimeter readings or may be because of loose circuit.
