EGR 101Resistance Experiment
READ this before class on Thursday*
-
Reminder about TeamingShare the technical loadMake sure each team member understands whats going on*
-
Digital Multimeter (DMM)Used to measure the following:Voltage DC and ACCurrent DC and ACResistanceCapacitanceTemperature w/ extra probe
Also used to check:DiodesTransistors*
-
Well Use the DMM to Measure ResistanceResistors restrict the flow of current, given a fixed voltageUnit = Ohms, They come in different packages*
-
Color CodeThe resistors well test have a color code to identify their resistance and tolerance.*
-
Band 1 (closest to the end) first digitBand 2 second digitBand 3 power of ten multiplier (most cases simply the number of zeros)Band 4 tolerance (Red = 2%, Gold = 5%, Silver = 10%, none = 20%)Resistor Color Band Code*

What is Tolerance about?If a resistor has a nominal value of 1000 and a tolerance of 10 % then individual resistors with the same nominal value are allowed to vary in their actual values from 900 to 1100 and still be considered acceptable.Any resistor fabricated with an actual value outside that range should be rejected as not meeting specifications.*
-
Ultimate Goal of this ExerciseTo generate a histogram demonstrating how many of your resistors meet specifications.A histogram is a plot that shows how many of an item fall into specific bins.*

Resistance Experiment Part 1 (45 minutes)Each team will be given a package of resistors.For each resistor,Determine the expected value of resistance by applying the color code.Measure the actual value of the resistance by using the ohmmeter function on the Digital Multimeter.Compare the actual and expected values of resistance does the actual value fall within the allowable range?Enter your results in an EXCEL table, as shown on the next page. *

Resistance Experiment Part 2 (55 minutes)Each team will be given a sample of resistors having the same nominal value.For each resistor: Determine the nominal value from the color code.Measure and record the resistance of each resistor in the sample.Enter your data in an Excel table (sheet 2) as shown on the next page. Plot a histogram bar graph of the measured values and determine the mean and the standard deviation of the resistance values.*

Preparing to Plot a HistogramBefore you start to generate a plot, generate a sequence of 5 numbers in your Excel sheet, equally spaced, from the minimum of your allowable range to the maximum of your allowable range.For example, if my range was 400-800, I would generate the following sequence:400500600700800*
-
Generating a Histogram TableClick on the Tools pull-down menuSelect Data Analysis(If you dont see Data Analysis, click Mcrosoft logo, click excel options at the bottom, select Add-Ins and then select Analysis ToolPak)Select HistogramFor Input RangeEnter the cell range with your resistance measurements (e.g. a4:a20)For Bin RangeEnter the cell range of your 5 valuesFor Output RangeEnter the cell that you want to be the upper left corner of your histogram table*
-
Generating a Histogram PlotSelect (click and drag the cursor over) the table that was created using the histogram commandClick on the Insert pull down menuSelect ChartSelect Column chart type (default), click nextYoull see a preview of your plot, click nextEnter a label for the x axis and change the plot title from frequency to something with your nominal resistor value in it, click nextSelect as object in sheet 2 in last step then click finish*
