Introduction
Resistance is measured with a device such as an analogue or digital
multimeter. Both types of instruments can measure not only resistance
but also current, voltage, and other parameters, making them useful in
a wide range of applications.

However, resistance measurement does not entail measuring the

resistance value of the circuit itself. Instead, resistance is calculated
by measuring the circuit's current and voltage. When a current is
applied to the circuit under test, the circuit (resistance) produces a
voltage (or more precisely, a voltage drop).

Theory
A resistor is a device that prevents electricity from easily passing
through it. When a certain amount of electricity is allowed to pass
through a resistor, it is converted into another form of energy such as
light or heat. A resistor is an electrical component that creates
resistance in the flow of electricity.

A resistor is a basic electrical component that can be found in nearly

all electronic circuits and electrical networks. A resistor is a passive
electrical component with two terminals. It is a passive component
because it draws energy from a source (active component).

1. Reduce the flow of current

2. Lower the levels of voltage in a circuit
3. Provide a biasing condition to transistors
4. Terminating device in transmission lines
Procedure

1. Throughout the experiment, keep the analogue multimeter flat.

2. Position the range selector to ohm meter and perform zero

calibration.

3. Perform continuity test to each resistor.

4. Determine the resistance value of each resistor by using the

Colour Code Guide

5. Calculate the maximum and minimum resistance value of each

resistor.

6. Now measure the resistance of each resistor with a multi meter.

Record results in Table 2.

7. Repeat procedure 1-6 for two other resistors.

Discussion
In this experiment, I demonstrate how to measure resistor resistance.
Using a multimeter, we measured two resistors that were 920 ohm 5%
and 62 ohm 5%. I also perform resistor measurement calculations,
such as determining the maximum and minimum resistor values.

This experiment teaches me how to calculate the maximum and

minimum resistor values. I also learn the resistor colour code. Now I
understand how to determine the colour code based on the value
provided. For instance, the colour codes for 920 ohm 5% are white,
red, black, and gold. Blue, red, and gold are the colour codes for 062
ohm 5%.

The experiment produced excellent results. To begin, the resistor has

a 5% resistance of 920 ohm; the measured value is 900 ohm. The
maximum value is 966 ohm, while the minimum value is 874 ohm.
Second, the resistor result is 062 ohm 5%; measured value is 65 ohm.
The maximum value is 65.1 ohm, while the minimum value is 58.9
ohm.

I notice that the measured value falls somewhere between the

maximum and minimum values. As a result, the outcome is flawless
and ready for recording. I also see that in order to do this
measurement correctly, it must be carefully read.
Conclusion

By the end of the experiment, we had learned and experienced a lot

about resistors. I discover the colour code, maximum value, and
maximum value. This could be useful for learning the fundamentals
of electrical engineering. This experience will be useful when we
begin working. I'm hoping that this experience will be useful to me
when I begin my career as a mechanical employee.
