1. OBJECTIVE
i. To investigate and study the basic electrical circuit in series and parallel
connections.
ii. To measure current, voltage and resistance in electrical circuit.

2. REQUIREMENT (EQUIPMENT / MATERIAL USE)

i. Electronic and Electrical Training Module

a) Basic Elec1 Module
b) Basic Elec2 Module
ii. Electronic Laboratories Workbench
iii. Digital multimeter
iv. Jumper wires

3. OVERVIEW
In electrical and electronic devices, the current, voltage, power and resistance are the basic
parameters to be measured. There are two types of electrical circuit configurations, which
are series and parallel. Ohm’s Law is the basic concept to be applied in circuit analysis
especially to measure current, voltage and resistance.

Note: How to connect the connection to have a variable voltage

Refer to the diagram above, we have two potentiometers which is 1kΩ and 10kΩ and also
the DC power supply section. User can choose 1kΩ or10kΩ potentiometer. Then connect
the connection as above to get the desire output voltage.

LABORATORY TASK

Lab Task 3: Basic Concept of Electricity Page: 5

For example we want a variable voltage from 0V-5V. Connect the connection as above.
Then, vary the potentiometer from min to max to get the desire voltage. If higher voltage
is wanted then change the +5V to +0V-18V point and tune to the desired maximum value.

Note: How to set up the desire output waveform by using the function generator

Refer to the above diagram, we have a function generator. Below is the reference and
usage of the 4 switches.
Note: Some of the model have DC OFFSET knob.
FUNCTION: to select sine wave, triangle wave and square wave.
FREQUENCY: tune the frequency of the output waveform.
AMPLITUDE: tune the amplitude of the output waveform.
RANGE: switch between different ranges of frequencies.
x10: 1Hz~10Hz
x100: 10Hz~100Hz
x1k: 100Hz~1kHz
x10k: 1kHz~10kHz
x100k: 10kHz~100kHz
DC OFFSET (optional): tune the DC level of the output waveform. When a specific AC
waveform or pulse signal is required, connect the pin labeled OUTPUT to the experiment
module. When a clocked pulse signal is required, connect the pin labeled TTL O/P to the
experiment module.

Request help and consultancies from the lab assistant when you have doubt about
the procedure.

Note: Steps to measure the dc current are as below.

- Turn off the power.
- Remove jumper J1.
- Switch ammeter to DC current reading mode.
- Connect the probe as figure below.
- Turn on the power.

Q5. Does the current pass through point C the same with the current pass through
the led? Explain

Yes, the current that passing through point c and the current passing through the
LED are the same current. It is because the circuit is series type.

PART 2: RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT

(A) EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE

1. Consider the series resistor network in FIG 2 on the BASIC ELEC 1 module.

Q1. What is the total series resistance calculated across point A & D?

R = 1kohm + 10k ohm + 2.2k ohm

= 13.2k ohm
= 13.2 x 10 ^3 ohm

Q2. Use an ohmmeter to measure the total resistance. Does the reading show the
same result as calculated earlier? Discuss it.

12.85k ohm
- The reading doesn’t show the same result as calculated earlier
- The calculated by using a theory formula which is 13.2 x 10^3 ohm
- By using the ohmmeter, the value is 12.85k ohm

(B) EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE

1. Refer to the parallel resistors network circuit in FIG 3 on the BASIC ELEC 1
module.

Q1. What is the total parallel resistance calculated across point G & H?

1/R = 1/1k ohm + 1/10k ohm + 1 /2.2k ohm

1/R = 1.554k ohm
R = 1/ 1.554k ohm
R = 0.644k ohm

Q2. Use an ohmmeter to measure the total resistance. Does the reading show the
same result as calculated earlier? Discuss on it.

0.67k ohm
- The final answer for both method is same
- The reading by using theory formula calculation is 0.664k
- The reading from ohmmeter, is 0.67k ohm

(C) EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE

1. Refer to the series-parallel resistors network circuit in FIG 4 on the BASIC

ELEC 1 module.

Q1. What is the total series-parallel resistance calculated across point A & E?

1/Req = 1/10k ohm + 1/ 2.2k ohm

1/Req = 0.554k ohm
Req = 0.554k ohm / 1
Req = 1.805k ohm

Req = 1k ohm + 1.805k ohm

= 2.805k ohm

OVERALL DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

The ohmmeter is an invaluable instrument for troubleshooting and practical applications

because it can measure resistance in real-world conditions quickly. Conversely, theory
calculations are necessary to comprehend the behaviour of circuits, forecast results, and
design circuits under idealized conditions. These methods are complementary to one
another and are frequently combined to guarantee a thorough comprehension of electrical
circuits.
