EXPERIMENT I MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE BAŞKENT UNIVERSITY BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT BME 211 CIRCUIT THEORY-I LAB EXPERIMENT I MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE,CURRENT AND RESISTANCE OBJECTIVE: Measurement of current, voltage and resistance quantities with a multimeter and experimental verification of KVL and KCL. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 MULTIMETERS Multimeter is an instrument for measuring basically the values of current,voltage and resistance. It is possible to reach the correct measurement if the appropriate mode of operation and range are selected. Otherwise either the meter can be damaged or the measurement can be incorrect. The symbolic representation of a multimeter is shown below in Fig.1. The output terminals are denoted by the signs +(red cable) and –(black cable). Fig. 1 Symbolic representation of a multimeter 1.2 MULTIMETER IN THE CURRENT MODE (AMPERMETER) The basic operating principle of an ampermeter is to obtain a voltage across a shunt resistor and compare this voltage with a reference level. In order to use the multimeter as an ampermeter, one has to observe the following directions: The switches on the meter should be selected correctly. (A button for current) There are usually two divisions for current measurements: one for small currents and one for large currents. You should work with the big scale if the current you are trying to measure can be bigger than the value of the small scale. DC/AC selection should be performed. We will be working with DC signals in our experiments. In DC (Direct Current) circuits, the meter is to be connected in such a way that the current enters the instrument from the (+) terminal. Otherwise the pointer will deflect in the reverse direction(in analog meters) or the reading will be negative. The meter should be connected in series to any network. Ampermeters have a very small internal resistance; in fact it is supposed to be zero. 1 EXPERIMENT I MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE As an example, refer to Fig. 2. If one wants to measure the current I1 in R1 then all the switches must be properly set, so that the meter acts as an ampermeter. The meter terminals are connected to the branch in series; the same current with the device should be passed through our meter.

As in the ampermeter case one has to set the switches on the meter properly, so that the meter acts as a voltmeter. Pay attention to the following: The switches on the meter should be selected correctly. (V button for voltage) DC/AC selection should be performed as DC. In AC (Alternating Current) circuits, the connection of the terminal polarities are not important. But for DC measurements one has to pay attention to the connections. Other wise an opposite (positive-negative) reading may result. The meter should be connected in parallel to any network. Voltmeters have a very large internal resistance; in fact it is supposed to be infinite. Why? As an example, refer to Fig. 3. If one wants to measure the voltage V3 across R3 then the meter should be connected as follows: V R1 V1 R3 R2 R1 R4 V1 R3 R2 Fig. 3 Voltage measurement 2 R4 EXPERIMENT I MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE 1.4 MULTIMETER IN THE RESISTANCE MODE The basic principle is to apply a test current of known value to the unknown resistor and compare it with the voltage that is obtained across a known resistor. The meter is again connected in parallel to the device. It is recommended that you choose the biggest scale, read the value and then decrease the scale for sensitive reading. The following section is about the color coding of resistors. 1.5 RESISTOR COLOR CODING The most widely used resistors are of carbon type. There exists usually four color bands on the body; indicating the ohmic values and tolerances. In order to achieve a correct reading, one has to hold the resistor in such a way that the bands are close to the left hand side. Then the ohmic value is given by : R AB*10 C %D OHMS that is ; simply put A and B values together to form a two-digit number and multiply it with 10 C . A B C D COLOR Black VALUE 0 TOLERANCE - Brown 1 - Red 2 - Orange 3 - Yellow 4 - Green 5 - Blue 6 - Violet 7 - Gray 8 - White 9 - Gold -1(for C only) %5 Silver -2(for C only) %10 No Color - %20 3 EXPERIMENT I MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE Examples: *1 A=green B=blue C=red D=gold then the value is: 56x102 %5 that is 5.6 kOHMs *2 330k %10 is given find the colors: 3 → orange 3 → orange 33x104 : 4 → yellow %10 → silver 2.
