Lab 1: Equipment

Carbon Resistors, Ceramic Resistor, Mini Light Bulbs

These are typical ohmic resistors. The colored bands on the carbon resistors indicate the resistance and the tolerance. Be very gentle with the mini light bulbs as they are delicate!

Digital Multimeter (DMM)

With an appropriate dial setting and attached leads, this meter can measure voltage, current, or resistance.

D-cell Batteries

Battery Holders, Mini Leads with Alligator Clips, Banana Plug / Alligator Clip Leads

Battery Holders (The battery holders allow you to connect batteries in series or in parallel), Mini Leads with Alligator Clips (used to build circuits), Banana Plug / Alligator Clip Leads (used to attach DMM to circuits).
