Physics 42 Lab 6: Simple Circuits Prelab: Read Chapter 28 and the lab and do all the calculations in it before class for a 3V power supply and the given resistors. You must have your prelab done to be in class! Equipment: (2) 100 Ω resistors, (2) 470Ω resistor, KRM Multimeters, Circuit Board Kits, HP Power Supply, black and red banana cables Part 1. Resistor values - the resistor colour code Most resistors have 4 bands: • • • • The first band gives the first digit. The second band gives the second digit. The third band indicates the number of zeros. The fourth band is used to shows the tolerance (precision) of the resistor. The Resistor Colour Code Colour Number Black 0 Brown 1 This resistor has red (2), violet (7), yellow (4 zeros) and gold bands. So its value is 270000 = 270 k . On circuit diagrams the is usually omitted and the value is written 270K. Red 2 Orange 3 Yellow 4 Find the color bands for a 100 Ω Resistor and find the total resistance. Green 5 Blue 6 Violet 7 Grey 8 White 9 Find the color bands for a 470 Ω Resistor and find the total resistance. Tolerance of resistors (fourth band of colour code) The tolerance of a resistor is shown by the fourth band of the colour code. Tolerance is the precision of the resistor and it is given as a percentage. For example a 390 resistor with a tolerance of ±10% will have a value within 10% of 390 , between 390 - 39 = 351 and 390 + 39 = 429 (39 is 10% of 390). A special colour code is used for the fourth band tolerance: silver ±10%, gold ±5%, red ±2%, brown ±1%. If no fourth band is shown the tolerance is ±20%. In lab, find the tolerances of your resistors and put them here: Tolerance for 100 Ω _____________ Tolerance for 470 Ω _____________ Part 2: Experiment with Resistors in Parallel and Series (The Voltage is 3V for all circuits!) Voltmeter settings: Direct Current ( V -----), 20. This setting will give you Volt readings. Ammeter Settings: To measure current set dial to Direct Current, ( A ----) 200m , Black cable into COM, Red cable into Fused mA. This will give you milliamp readings. NEVER MEASURE CURRENT WITHOUT A LOAD! If you measure current straight out of the power supply you will fry out little multimeter!!! (You FRY you BUY! ;-) 1. Series Circuit Set up a simple circuit with two 100Ω resistors in series. Connect voltmeter to the dc voltage supply. Turn Voltage adjust to zero (ccw) before turning on. Turn on the power supply and slowly turn up voltage till you read 3 V on the voltmeter. This might take some fine tuning and patience. Once it is set, leave it alone for the rest of the lab! If you happen to change it, you can always set it again with your voltmeter. Sketch the circuit here.
