Experiment Number: 03
Name of the Experiment: Method of measuring resistance by looking

through any two terminals of a network.
Objective:
This experiment aims to investigate the techniques used to measure resistance in
two-terminal networks. Through this experiment, we will thoroughly understand
the theoretical underpinnings, practical uses, and constraints of several resistance
measurement techniques. When this experiment is finished, we will be able to:
 Explain resistance and its importance:
Electrical resistance is a term that makes sense when seen in the context of
electronic circuits and systems. Recognize the resistance unit and how it is shown
in circuit diagrams.
 Recognizing Two- Terminal Networks:
Two-terminal networks can be distinguished from other types of circuits by

emphasizing their core qualities and uses.
 Examine the Circuits and the Components:
Using a digital multimeter, we can determine its voltage and use it to measure
currents, resistance, and other things.
Theory:
We are aware that measuring resistance is a fundamental component of electrical
engineering that entails calculating the resistance to an electric current's flow
through a substance or component. Several techniques are used to precisely
measure resistance in the context of two-terminal networks, which have two
connecting points. This theoretical part examines the fundamental ideas underlying
popular techniques for determining resistance in two-terminal networks.
 Ohm’s Law:
The fundamental relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R)
in an electrical circuit is established by Ohm's Law:
V=IR
Since it enables the computation of resistance when voltage and current are known,
this formula serves as the foundation for resistance measurement.
 Direct Current (DC) Method:
We can use a single device called a multimeter to measure voltage, current, and
resistance.Voltage Source must be used as the power input.Ohm's Law must be
applied, and the resistance is computed as
R=I/V
In this experiment, we'll use the Direct Current (DC) approach to measure
resistance.The following tools are required.We must make certain that

1 1 1
Req =( R (1−2) + R(3−5) + R(6−8) ¿
1 1 1
Req =( 2 + 18 + 6 ¿
= 1.94 kΩ
By evaluating the Value of Req=1.94 kΩ
Result and Discussion:

R=I/V
In this experiment, the resistance will be measured using the Direct Current (DC)
method. The following tools are required. We must make certain that.
I=7.85 mA was recorded after the circuit was connected to the ammeter. We were
able to determine our Req from our experimental circuit by using the following
formula. Req = 1.908 k, which is extremely near to the value that our Theory
predicts.
Req from Experiment is very closed = Req from Our Calculation
Several significant findings and observations can be presented once the experiment
to measure resistance over a two-terminal network has been completed. Let's
summarize the results in simpler terms:
 We attempted the DC method, which involves measuring resistance with a

multimeter. We found that this approach offers a benefit.
 The multimeter is simple to use and produces readings quickly. Contrarily,
this is more accurate for taking precise measurements.
 We discovered that the measurement can be impacted by the wires or leads
we utilize.
 Sometimes, the resistance of the wires themselves might have an impact on
the outcomes.
So, evaluating resistance involves more than merely adding together numbers. It
involves picking the appropriate tools, being cautious when making connections,
and being aware of the approaches that are most effective in various circumstances.
This information enables us to improve the functionality of devices and address
issues as they arise.
