AIM : To use a Multimeter for measuring (a) Resistance (b) AC and DC Voltages (c) DC

current and (d) checking electrical fuses

APPRATUS : Multimeter, resistance, resistance box, power supply, step down

transformer, fuse, connecting wires.

OBSERVATIONS :

(A) Measurement of Resistance

(i) Colour coding

Colour Numerical meaning of 1st and 2nd 3rd band 4th band
band Multiplier Tolerance

S. No Colour Code Theoretical value Measured value % Error

(Ω) (Ω)

(ii) Resistance Box

S. No Applied value Measured value % Error

(Ω) (Ω)
(B) Fuse

(C) DC voltage (using power supply)

S. No Applied Voltage (V) Measured voltage (V)

(D) AC voltage (using step down transformer)

S. No Applied Voltage (V) Measured voltage (V)

(C) DC current

S. No Resistance (Ω) Applied voltage (V) Current (A)
