Experiment No.

Name of the Experiment: Study of Methods of Measuring Resistance looking through any
Two Terminals of a Network

Objectives:
1. To examine any two network terminals in order to experimentally validate techniques for
measuring resistance.
2. To learn about the techniques for calculating resistance, examine any two network terminals.

Theory: Resistors can be connected in series or parallel so often that it is worth paying extra
attention to this situation. Merging two resistors at a time makes the process of merging them
easier. The total of the individual resistances determines the equivalent resistance of any
number of resistors connected in series.

𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 𝑅1 + 𝑅2 +...... 𝑅𝑛 = ∑ 𝑅𝑛
𝑛=1

The equivalent resistance of two parallel resistors is equal to the product of their resistances
divided by their sum.

Equipment Required:
1. DC Voltage Sources
2. Multimeter
3. Breadboard
4. Jumper wires
5. Resistors (1KΩ, 2.2KΩ, 3.3KΩ, 4.7KΩ, 5,6KΩ 10KΩ)

Procedure:
1. Using resistors with nominal values of 2.2 kΩ, 3.3 kΩ, and 4.7 kΩ, the circuit was put
together in accordance with the presented diagram.
2. The resistors' individual resistances were measured with a multimeter, and the results
were noted.
3. Using Method 1, the equivalent resistance was determined and noted.
4. In Method 2, the open-circuit voltage 𝑉𝑂𝐶 and short-circuit current 𝐼𝑆𝐶 were measured
to calculate the equivalent resistance.
5. In Method 3, the resistance was measured using the source voltage and current 𝑉𝑆 and
𝐼𝑆8

6. Method 4 employed the ratio of voltage to current R= 𝐼𝑆
to determine the resistance.
7. All findings were reported and the experimental results were compared with
theoretical values.

● Calculating Experimental Value of Resistance:


𝑉𝑜𝑐
1) Method 2: Using 𝐼𝑠𝑐

𝑉𝑜𝑐 = 407 𝑉
𝐼𝑠𝑐 = 0. 99 𝐴
𝑉𝑜𝑐 4.07
𝑅𝑎𝑏 = 𝐼𝑠𝑐
= 0.99
= 4. 11 𝑘Ω

𝑉𝑠
2) Method 3: Using 𝐼𝑠

𝑉𝑠 = 1. 01 𝑉
𝐼𝑠 = 0. 243 𝐴
𝑉𝑠 1.01
𝑅𝑎𝑏 = 𝐼𝑠
= 0.243
= 4. 16 𝑘Ω

1𝑉
4) Method 4: Using 𝐼𝑠

𝐼𝑠 = 0. 243 𝐴
1 1
𝑅= 𝐼𝑠
= 0.243
= 4. 10 𝑘Ω

Result:
According to the experimental data, the resistance as determined by various techniques nearly
matches the 4.095 kΩ theoretical value. The resistance was measured with a multimeter to be
4.09 kΩ, and the results of the open circuit voltage and short circuit current approach were
4.11 kΩ. The result of the source voltage and current approach was 4.16 kΩ.

Discussion:
Because the multimeter can only display one number after the decimal, it can reduce
measurement precision, which accounts for the small variations between the theoretical and
experimental resistance values. This explains why the multimeter measured 4.09 kΩ instead
of the theoretical 4.095 kΩ. Though the results still roughly match expectations, there were
some inconsistencies caused by slight measurement irregularities and changes in resistor
tolerances.

Conclusion:
The theoretical value of 4.095 KΩ is in good agreement with the experimental resistance
values acquired using various techniques. Owing to measurement imperfections, each
approach yields somewhat different values; yet, the methods' overall consistency
validates their accuracy.
