General Safety rules:
Execution of lab experiments is more important than performing accurate experiments and
constructing neat circuits. The first step towards safety is to know the lab itself which means you
must know where the fire extinguishers, electric main safety breaker are and where the
emergency exits. You should also be aware of all the equipment present in the lab. Following are
some rules which you must follow to avoid any unfortunate event.
Do not wear rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, and other metal objects in the lab.
Make sure your hands are dry
Make sure your shoes are dry
Always power down the electrical equipment, disconnect the power cords and wait for a
few seconds before touching the exposed wires
Make sure all the experimental setup is disconnected from the power supply before
turning it on
Even if your circuit is of 5 volts, do not consider it less dangerous
Do not forget to turn off all the equipment after the experiment
Always get instructions on how to use the new equipment
Be careful with the soldering iron station, it can cause serious burns and fire
While using the soldering iron, place it in the special iron stand, not on the table

Lab1: INTRODUCTION TO BASIC LABORATORY EQUIPMENT and
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT METHODS
Introduction
1. The first laboratory exercise is to familiarize the students with the use of basic
laboratory equipment including the breadboard, power supply and the Digital
multi-meter (DMM).
2. To find the value of a resistor and its tolerance by (i) color coding and (ii) using
multi-meter.
Objectives
3. The objectives of this lab are:
3.1. To understand the working of a Bread Board.
3.2. Learn the COLOUR CODES scheme to determine the values of resistances.
3.3. To learn the set-up of Digital MULTIMETER in different configurations to work
as a voltmeter, Ohmmeter and Ammeter.
Lab Equipment
4. The following equipment would be used in this experiment, the students are to
familiarize themselves with the equipment before its use:
Calculations
Consider your DMM and the pictures given above. What is the range of voltage and
current that the DMM can measure?

IDENTIFICATION OF RESISTOR COLOR CODE
Lab Exercise/ Calculation:
Select three resistors (5% tolerance) between 1Ω and 1MΩ. Verify the value of
resistance and tolerance of resistors using color codes, and complete the following table:
