CHAPTER 4

1.

Write the color code for a 1%, 124-ohm resistor.

2.

What is the closest standard resistor to 8000 ohms?

3.

Consider the circuit shown in the above Figure 4-12. Identify the points you should use to measure the voltage of

  1. R1? ________________

  2. R2? ________________

  3. the applied voltage? ________________


Figure 4-12: Circuit for exercise 3 and 4.

4.

Referring to the Figure 4-12, if you were to measure current where would you insert your meter?

5.

If you have a 12.0-volt source and two 1200 resistors in series, what will be the:

  1. total current flow? ________________

  2. total resistance? ________________

6.

If you measure 10mA (10/1000 amp or .01 amp) and it passes through an 1800-ohm resistor, what is the voltage across the resistor? ________________

7.

If you have a 100-volt source, and the total current measured is 2 amps, what is the total resistance? ________________

8.

If I wish to see a 5-volt drop across a resistor for 20mA current flow, what standard value must that resistor have? ________________

9.

For safe measurement, voltage is always measured ________________.

10.

For safe measurement, current is measured ________________. However, a safer way would be to measure voltage across a ________________ and use Ohm's Law to determine current.

11.

The primary safety consideration for measuring resistance is ensuring that the power to the component under test is _______________ .
