Introduction to Lab Equipment

Objectives:
To introduce students to the basic electrical
elements in the Lab.

1) Digital Multimeter:
A digital multimeter is a device which is used to measure
several electrical properties such as Voltage (as Voltmeter),
Current (as Ammeter) and Resistance (as Ohm-meter), and
displaying its results on a Digital Screen.

a) Parts of Digital Multimeter


 A Digital Screen
 Rotatory Selector Dial
 Input Terminals
 COM (Common)
 V/Ω/mA Port
 10A Port
 Probes
 Hold Button
 Auto/Manual Range Button
 Power Button

b) Measurment Functions of a Digital Multimeter:


A Digital Multimeter can function as Voltmeter,
Ammeter and Ohm-meter to measure different
Electrical Attributes.
i) Voltmeter:
A Voltmeter is a device which is used to measure
the Electrical Potential Difference between two points in
a circuit. It operates in two modes:

 DC Voltage (VDC)
 AC Voltage (VAC)

When measuring voltage, the voltmeter is


connected in parallel with the component/circuit.

ii) Ammeter:
An Ammeter is a device which is used to measure
the current flowing through the circuit.

The Ammeter must be connected to appropriate


measuring range and AC or DC before measuring in
order to prevent any damage.

An Ammeter need to be connected in Series with


the Component/Circuit while measuring the current.

iii)Ohm-meter:
An ohm-meter is a device which is used to
measure the Electrical Resistance.

When in resistance mode, the Digital Multimeter


applies a small voltage to the circuit and measure the
resulting current to calculate resistance.

The circuit must be disconnected from power


source before measuring the resistance to avoid
incorrect readings or damage to the meter.
c) How to use the Digital Multimeter?
i) Set the Selection Knob:
Turn the selection knob to the desired measurement
type.

ii) Connect the Probes:


Insert the Red Probe in the VΩmA port and the black
probe in the Common (COM) port.
When measuring high current, use the dedicated 10A
port.

iii) Voltage Measurement:


For the measurement of Voltage, connect the
multimeter in parallel to the component or the points
where you want to measure.

iv)Current Measurement:
For measuring the current, connect the multimeter in
series to the circuit

v) Resistance Measurement:
While measuring the resistance, make sure that the
circuit is disconnected from the power source. Then,
connect the probes across the component.

vi)Read the Display:


After that, read the readings from the Display.

2) Breadboard:
A breadboard is a board which is used for prototyping of a
circuit. It allows to place components and connections on it
without the use of soldering.
a) Sections of a Breadboard:
A breadboard consists of the following sections:

i) Power Rails:
They are usually located at the sides of the breadboard
and are used to power the circuit. They are connected
vertically inside the breadboard.

ii) Terminal Strips:


They are the rows of holes in the middle area which is
used to place components and connection. The holes in
the terminal strips are connected horizontally inside the
breadboard.

b) Series Circuit:
The type of circuit in which there is only one path for the flow
of current is known as Series Circuit.
In this type of circuit, the components are connected end to
end to each other.
i) Creating a Series Circuit on a Breadboard
using Resistors:
While creating a Series Circuit on a breadboard (here using
resistors), we follow the following steps:

(1) Place a resistor on the breadboard and make sure


that both of its legs are placed on different rows.
(2) Then place the second resistor in such fashion only
this time make sure that the first leg of the second
resistors is placed in the same row as the second leg of
the first resistor.
(3) Keep on connected the desired amount of resistors
in a similar way.
(4) Connect the first leg of the first resistor and the
second leg of the last resistor to the power source.

c) Parallel Circuit:
The type of Electrical circuit, in which there are multiple paths
for the flow of current is known as Parallel Circuit.
In a Parallel Circuit, the components are connected side by side
providing multiple path for flow of current.
i) Creating a Parallel Circuit on Breadboard
using Resistors:
While creating a Parallel Circuit on a breadboard, follow
the following steps:

(1) Place a resistor on the breadboard making sure


that both of its legs are on different rows.
(2) Place another resistor’s legs in the same rows as
the first ones.
(3) Keep placing resistors in the same way of the
desired amount.
(4) Connect the rows containing the legs with the
Power Source.

3) Jumping Wires:
Jumper Wires are used to connect different components on
breadboard. They are used to connect Electrical Components
on the breadboard without the use of soldering which makes it
essential for prototyping circuits on a breadboard.

a) Types of Jumper Wires:


Jumper wires has three types which are given below:

i) Male to Male:
In Male to Male Wires, both sides of the wires has pins
which can be inserted in the breadboard.

ii) Male to Female:


In Male to Female Wires, one end of the wires has a pin
which can be inserted in the Breadboard while the other
end of the wires has a socket, which enables connection
between a male pin and a female header component.

iii) Female to Female:


In Female to Female Wires, both ends of the wires has a
socket which allows to connect two male pins or headers
together.
