The aim of the exercise is to become familiar with the use of digital multimeters and the ability
to create measurement systems.

Theoretical part
Digital Multimeter Overview

A digital multimeter (DMM) is an essential tool in electronics for measuring various electrical
parameters such as voltage, current, and resistance. It combines multiple measurement
functions into a single device, providing high precision and ease of use for various electrical
measurements.

Components and Functions of a Digital Multimeter

1. Display:
o Shows the measurement readings.
o Can display digits, units, and sometimes a graphical representation of
measurements.
2. Measurement Ports:
o Includes ports for connecting probes.
o Common ports: COM (common ground), V/Ω (voltage and resistance
measurement), and A (current measurement).
3. Rotary Switch:
o Allows selection of different measurement modes such as voltage (AC/DC),
current (AC/DC), and resistance.
4. Probes:
o Used to connect the multimeter to the circuit under test.
o Typically consists of a black (negative) and a red (positive) probe.

Measurement Principles

1. Voltage Measurement:
o Measures the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit.
o Voltage can be AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current).
o The multimeter is connected in parallel with the component whose voltage is to
be measured.
2. Current Measurement:
o Measures the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
o Current can also be AC or DC.
o The multimeter is connected in series with the component to measure the
current flowing through it.
3. Resistance Measurement:
o Measures the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit.
o Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).
o The multimeter applies a small voltage through the resistor and measures the
current flow to determine the resistance.
Practical part
1. Measuring with ohmmeter:
Resistor 1 – 1.2003 kΩ
Resistor 2 – 2.175 kΩ
Resistor 3 – 2.168 kΩ
2. Measuring the voltage and current:
R1 – Current: 4.839 mA; Voltage: 5.811 V
R2 – Current: 2.698 mA; Voltage: 5.858 V
R3 – Current: 2.708 mA; Voltage: 5.855 V

3. Measuring the resistance of series connection of resistors


R1, R2 and R3.
Current: 1.065 mA;
Voltage: 5.899 V

4. Measuring the resistance of parallel connection of resistors


R1, R2 and R3.
Current: 10.023 mA;
Voltage: 5.709 V
Calculations of the relative and absolute errors:
1. Series resistance:
Expected series resistance:
Rs= R1 + R2 + R3 = 1.2003 + 2.175 + 2.168 = 5.5433 kΩ = 5543 Ω
Measured series resistance:
5.899 V
Rs= 1.065 mA = 5538 Ω

2. Parallel resistance:
Expected parallel resistance:
Rp= 3328.12 Ω
Measured parallel resistance:
Rp= 569 Ω

Series Connection:
 Absolute error: 5543 – 5538 = 5 Ω
 Relative error: 0.09%
Parallel Connection:
 Absolute error: 3328.12 – 569 = 2759.12 Ω
 Relative error: 82.87%
Conclusions

The exercise aims to familiarize users with digital multimeters


and the creation of systems for measuring resistance. Through
hands-on activities, participants learn to measure resistance
using ohmmeters and Ohm's law. Detailed instructions lead
through setting up measurement systems, performing
measurements, and recording data for resistors in various
configurations (individual, series and parallel). This exercise
reinforces theoretical knowledge and improves practical skills in
using measurement devices, ensuring accuracy by accounting
for internal device resistances. The subsequent tasks in the
report, such as error calculation and result analysis, encourage
a thorough understanding of resistance measurement
techniques and the factors affecting measurement accuracy.
