MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE & CAPACITANCE
OBJECTIVE:
Introduction to the Measuring Methods of Resistance and Capacitance
EQUIPMENT/COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
1. Different Valued Resistors, Capacitors
2. VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter)
3. DMM (Digital Multimeter)
THEORY & PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
The purpose of this experiment is to acquaint you with the equipment, so do not rush.
Learn how to read the meter scales accurately, and take your data carefully. You must
become comfortable with the instruments if you expect to perform your future job function in a
professional manner.
“Part 1: Resistance Measurement”
METHOD 1: Resistance Measurement using VOM/ DMM:
1. Resistance is never measured by an ohm-meter in a live network, due to the possibility

of damaging the meter with excessively high currents and obtaining readings that have
no meaning.
2. Always start with the highest range of the instrument and switch down to the proper
range successively.
3. Use the range in which the deflection falls in the upper half of the meter scale.
4. Try to ascertain the polarity of dc voltages before making the measurement.
5. Whenever measuring the resistance of a resistor in a circuit, note whether there are
any other resistive elements that could cause an error in the reading. It may be
necessary to disconnect one side of the resistor before measuring.
6. Check the zero and ohms adjustments each time the range is changed.
7. When making measurements, grip the test prods by the handles as close to the lead
end as possible. Do not allow the fingers to touch the prod tips while measuring.
8. Keep the instruments away from the edge of the workbench, and away from heat and
dangerous fumes.

9. There is no zero adjustment on a DMM, but make sure that R=0 ohm when the leads
are touching or an adjustment internal to the meter may have to be made. Any
resistance above the maximum for a chosen scale will result in an O.L. indication.
10. The ranges are usually marked as multiples of R. For example,
R x 1, R x 10, R x 100, R x 1 k
The value of the resistor can be found by multiplying the reading by the range setting.
For example, a reading of 11 on the R x 1 kΩ range is 11 x 1 kΩ= 11 k Ω, or 11, 000 Ω.
METHOD 2: Resistance Measuring Using Color Coding:
1. The resistance of many resistors can be determined by reading a series of colored
bands imprinted on the resistor body. In this scheme called “Resistor Color Code” each
colour represents a different decimal digit, as shown in fig. 1 and Table 2.
Table 2: Resistor Color Code:
The first three bands of the color code are used to specify nominal value of the resistance, and
the fourth, or tolerance band, gives the percent deviation from the nominal value that the actual
resistor may have. Due to manufacturing variations, the actual resistance may be anywhere in a
range equal to the nominal value plus or minus a certain percentage of that value.

Figure – 1

Capacitor Colour Code
A colour code was used on polyester capacitors for many years. It is now obsolete, but
of course there are many still around. The colours should be read like the resistor code, the
top three colour bands giving the value in pF. Ignore the 4th band (tolerance) and 5th band
(voltage rating).
For example: brown, black, orange means

10000pF = 10nF = 0.01µF.
Note that there are no gaps between the colours bands, so 2 identical bands actually
appear as a wide band.
For example: wide red, yellow means 220nF = 0.22µF.
NUMERICAL CODES
Numerical Codes are used with non - electrolytic capacitors to specify their
capacitance. Usually, these codes are 3 digit long, specifying the capacitance in Pico Farads;
the first two digits are Tens and Units, where as the third digit is power of 10.

For example: 102 means 1000pF = 1nF (not 102pF!)

For example: 472J means 4700pF = 4.7nF (J means 5% tolerance).
For example: 333K means 33000pF = 33nF (K means 10% tolerance).
Figure – 2: Capacitors

2. The first two color bands specify the first two digits of the nominal value, and the third
band represents the power of 10 by which the first two digits are multiplied.
3- The example below demonstrates these computations.

Solution:-
Thus,
Nominal resistance = 47 x 103 Ω = 47k Ω
The possible range of actual values is:
47 k Ω ± (0.1) 47 k Ω = 47kΩ ± 4.7k Ω
Or From 42.3 kΩ to 51.7 k Ω
“Part 2: Capacitance Measurement:”
CAPACITOR:
There are two types of capacitors, i.e. electrolyte and non - electrolyte capacitors. The
non-electrolytic capacitors use Paper, Mica, Ceramic, Mylar, Glass, Porcelain, Polycarbonate,
and Wax as Insulator. Figure 2 shows symbols of the two types of the capacitor. The
difference in the use of the two types of capacitors is that non-electrolytic capacitors can be
charged in any direction, where as the Electrolytic ones can only be charged in one direction.
Electrolytic Capacitors are Polar; i.e., one of its two plates is Positive and other is Negative,
whereas in non-electrolytic capacitors, both the plates are same, having no polarity.

THEORY:
Ohms Law simply states that:

"The current is inversely proportional to the Resistance. The Ohms law can be
combined mathematically to give the expression as I=V/R.
The Ohms law correctly expresses the relationship as for a fixed resistance, current increases when
voltage increases, and for a fixed voltage, Current decreases when Resistance increases.

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM
OBJECTIVE:
To Verify Superposition Principle in DC Circuits
REQUIRED:
1- DMM
2- 2 DC Power Supplies,
3- Resistances (1k Ω, 2k Ω, 430k Ω)
THEORY:
The superposition principle states that:
“The current through or voltage across, any resistive branch of a
multisource network is the algebraic sum of the contribution due to each
source acting independently.”
When the effect of one source is considered, the others are replaced by their internal
resistances. This principle permits one to analyze circuits without restoring to simultaneous
equations.
Superposition is effective only for linear circuit relationship. Non-linear effects, such as power,
which varies as the square of the current or voltage, cannot be analyzed using this principle.

VERIFICATION OF MAXIMUM POWER TTRANSFER THEOREM

OBJECTIVE:
To Verify Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
Discussion
Maximum power transfer theorem states that any linear network, if the load resistance equals its
Thevenin’s equivalent resistance, the load can yield a maximum power from sources.
Now we consider the Thevenin’s equivalent shown in Fig 1. By Ohm’s Law, the power dissipated in the Load
PRL can be expressed as follows.
I = ETH / (RTH + RL)
PRL = I2*RL
PRL = [ETH / (ETH + RL)2*RL
or
PRL = (ETH2*RL) / (RTH + RL)2
Figure-1
Suppose ETH = 4V and RTH = 5Ω, then PRL can be expressed by the equation PRL = 16 RL / (5+RL)2. Now
we calculate and record each of the PRL values for each RL value from 1 Ω to 9 Ω increasing the step to 1 Ω. The
results are listed in Table 1 and plotted in Fig 2. From both Table 1 and fig- 2, you can find that the maximum
value of PRL occurs at RL = RTH.

AC RC Circuit
OBJECTIVE:
To understand the characteristics of an RC series network in ac circuit
Discussion
When an ac voltage is applied across a pure resistance, the resultant current is in phase with the applied voltage.
Resistance therefore has no phase angle associated with it and is written as R 0. When an ac voltage is applied
across a pure capacitor, the resultant current leads the voltage by 90. Capacitance therefore has a phase angle
associated with it. The opposition that a capacitor offers to the flow of alternating current is called capacitive
reactance and is written as Xc -90, or –jXc. The magnitude of Xc is Xc=1/2π fC= 1/wC.
An RC series circuit with an ac supply voltage is shown Fig . The impedance of this circuit can be expressed as
ZT = Z1 + Z2 = R 0 +XC -90

ER = I R

Power in AC Circuit
OBJECTIVE:
To understand the characteristics of an RC series network in ac circuit
Discussion
Electrical power in a dc circuit is calculated by P=EI. This is also true in ac circuit with
a pure resistor. When an ac voltage is applied across a resistor , the instantaneous variations of
current through the resistor follow exactly the instantaneous changes in voltage .this is called
that the current is in phase with the voltage.
Figure-1
It is possible that the current is not phase with the voltage when a load contains reactive
element such as in inductor or capacitor. See Fig. 1. The current I lags the voltage E by a phase
angle . Since the instantaneous power is the product of the instantaneous current and voltage
values, the instantaneous power curve can therefore be plotted as the areas shown by slanting
lines.
The loads absorb energy during the instantaneous power in positive direction and
returns energy during the instantaneous power in negative direction. In fig 1, the current I and
voltage E appear a phase angle θ and the power P will be P=EIcos θ. If the current is in phase

with the voltage (θ =0), the power will be P=EI.
