6. Using the protoboard and resistors in your parts package, connect as many resistors in series as necessary to give a total resistance which fits into the tolerance of 8.3 k 5%. Draw the pictorial below indicating the placement (and connections) of the ohmmeter and the values of resistors used.

7. Calculate the minimum value and maximum value 8.3 k 5% can be, then measure the actual value of this string of series resistors and insert in Table 3. Table 3 Calculated Values Minimum Maximum Measured Value

10. Using one multimeter configured as an ohmmeter, and the other multimeter configured as a voltmeter, measure the resistance of all the voltmeter ranges. Insert the data in Table 5. Table 5 Voltmeter Ranges Measured Resistance

11. Using one multimeter configured as an ohmmeter, and the other multimeter configured as an ammeter, measure the resistance of all the ammeter ranges. Insert the data in Table 6. Table 6 Ammeter Ranges Measured Resistance

12. Using the resistors in your parts package configure the least number of resistors in series to result in a resistance closest to the desired values. Record in Table 7. Table 7 Total Resistance Desired 600 2.4 k 5.3 k 7k 8.5 k Resistors Used Measured Resistance
