University of North Texas, College of Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering EENG 1910 – Introduction to Electrical Engineering Lab 1: Basic Laboratory Measurement (Tables) Table 1: Resistor Color Bands Calculated Value (Ohm) Tolerance Measured Value (Ohm) Percentage Error (%) Within Tolerance? 1 brown-red-red-(gold) 1.2KΩ 5% 1.18KΩ 1.7% yes 2 Yellow-violet- brown-(gold) 470Ω 5% 463Ω 1.5% yes 3 Red-red-red-(gold) 2.2KΩ 5% 2.17KΩ 1.4% yes 4 Orange-orange- brown-(gold) 330Ω 5% 324Ω 1.8% yes 5 Table 2: Serial Number Power Supply Value DMM Value 1 3V 3.00V 2 6V 6.00V 3 12V 12.00V 4 20V 19.97V 5 40V 40.04V Post-lab Assignments Prepare and submit a small report for Lab 1. The report should include your experience with the
lab, lessons learned, and answers to the following post-lab exercise. 1. Exercise a. Based on measurement results in Experiment 1, calculate the percentage error between the measured and calculated resistance values using the formula below and enter your values under the “Percentage Error (%)” column of Table-1. Percentage error = abs (Measured Value – Calculated Value) x 100 Calculated Value. (Refer to table above). b. Are the calculated percentage errors less or equal to the corresponding values of the tolerance? Enter your answers in the “Within Tolerance?” column of Table-1. The calculated values entered are less than or equal to the tolerance therefore, they are within the tolerance. c. What is the importance of a resistor in a circuit? The significance of a resistor is to reduce current flow in a circuit, its task is to provide resistance to the current flow. d. What is a power supply? Why is a power supply needed to test a circuit? Can it be replaced by another component to make your circuit portable? A power supply is a key component in a circuit that is needed to run a circuit. Without a power supply, you don’t have a working circuit. Replacing a power supply proves to be more difficult as it is an essential component of a circuit.
