Nidhi EM Task - 12

This document describes two methods for measuring low resistances: 1) the voltmeter-ammeter method, where a voltage and current are measured across a resistor to calculate its resistance, and 2) the series comparison method, where voltage drops are measured across a resistor and standard resistor in series to determine the resistor's resistance. Diagrams of the measurement circuits are provided, as well as the equipment used like power supplies, ammeters, voltmeters, and resistor standards. Background theory can be found in a referenced textbook.

MEASUREMENT OF LOW RESISTANCES


12.1. Task of the measurement
12.1.1. Measurement using voltmeter-ammeter method (Ohm’s method). Connect the
measuring circuit according to Fig. 12.1. Use suitable measurement procedure to
exclude influence of thermo-electrical voltages. Calculate measured resistance RX
from the measured voltage and current and estimate the expanded uncertainty of
measured resistance (coverage factor k = 2).
12.1.2. Measurement using series comparison method. Connect the measuring circuit
according to Fig. 12.2. Measure the voltage drop across the resistance standard RN and
across the measured resistor RX. Use suitable measurement procedure to exclude
influence of thermo-electrical voltages. Calculate measured resistance RX and estimate
the expanded uncertainty of measured resistance (coverage factor k = 2).
