Introduction Multimeter Voltage Measurement Current Measurement Resistance Measurement Diode Testing Continuity Test Function Generator Oscilloscope Practical Tasks Eng. Rose Hasan
4
Measuring and Test Equipment are used to: measure electrical quantities test electrical components generate different types of signals to test the response of the circuit to that signal. Measuring and test equipment can be used to: troubleshoot electrical problems in many industrial and household devices such as batteries, lamps, motor controls and wiring systems Eng. Rose Hasan
6
Purpose: A multi-meter is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several functions in one unit. It is used to: measure voltage, current and resistance and to test diodes and connectivity Eng. Rose Hasan
8
Types: There are two types of multimeters: analog & digital Eng. Rose Hasan
10
Voltage Measurement (Voltmeter): To measure the DC voltage across electrical components in a circuit, follow these steps: Select on the digital multi-meter's setting switch on the largest voltage range. Connect the positive (RED) (+) lead to the part of the circuit that is connected to the positive (+) side of the supply (battery). Eng. Rose Hasan
11
Connect the negative (BLACK) (-) lead to the part of the circuit that is connected to the negative (-) side of the supply (battery). Switch on the multi-meter by pressing "POWER" button. Then select the best range that will give you the most accurate results. Record the reading and the unit that are displayed in the multimeter's display. Eng.

Items Required: Eng. Rose Hasan
13
Measure the voltage across the batteries using a multi-meter: Eng. Rose Hasan
14
Record your readings on the following table. The true value is the value written on the battery Eng. Rose Hasan
15
3. Compare the measured value with the true value of the voltage written in the battery. Is the measured value close to the real value? If no, state why? ______________________________________ 4. You can test a battery using Multi-meter by: (a) Voltage measurement (b) Connectivity test (c) Diode Test Eng. Rose Hasan
16
Current Measurements : To measure the DC current flowing in electrical circuit, follow these steps: Plug the BLACK (-) probe into the COM input jack and the RED (+) probe into the mA or A input jack. Adjust the digital multi-meter for current measurements. Switch off the power in the circuit. Eng. Rose Hasan
17
Break the circuit between elements where the current to be measured. Insert the probes of the multi-meter in the place where do you break the circuit. Switch on the multi-meter. Select the best range that will give you the most accurate results. Record the reading and the unit that are displayed in the multi-meter's display Eng. Rose Hasan
19
Resistance Measurements (Ohmmeter): To measure the resistance of a resistor, follow these steps: Turn Off the power to the circuit and remove the components to be tested. Select on the digital multi-meter's setting switch on the lowest resistance range. Eng. Rose Hasan
20
Plug the BLACK (-) probe into the COM input jack and the RED (+) probe into the Ώ input jack. Connect the probe tips across the component you want to measure its resistance Switch on the multi-meter and select the best range that will give you the most accurate results. Record the reading and the unit that are displayed in the multimeter's display. Eng. Rose Hasan
22
Items Required: Eng. Rose Hasan
23
Measure the resistance across different resistors using a multimeter and color code Eng. Rose Hasan
24
2. Record your readings on the following table Eng. Rose Hasan
25
3. Compare the value of resistance measured by the multi-meter and color code. Are the values close to each other? -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- Eng. Rose Hasan
26
Items Required: Resistors (200Ώ), multi-meters Electricity & Electronics Constructor, EEC470 Basic Electricity and Electronics Kit EEC471-2 Power supply unit Eng. Rose Hasan
27
Construct the simple circuit shown below. Use 200 Ώ resistor values. Eng. Rose Hasan
28
Connect the multi-meter to the power supply. Make sure that the variable dc control knob is fully counter clockwise, and then switch on the power supply. Increase the applied voltage in 2 V steps from 0 V up to 5 V. Eng. Rose Hasan
29
At each step measure the current flowing in the resistor. Record your reading in the following table: Eng. Rose Hasan
30
To measure the resistance of a resistor, follow these steps: Turn Off the power to the circuit and remove the components to be tested. Select on the digital multi-meter's setting switch on the lowest resistance range. Plug the BLACK (-) probe into the COM input jack and the RED (+) probe into the Ώ input jack. Eng. Rose Hasan
31
Connect the probe tips across the component you want to measure its resistance Switch on the multi-meter and select the best range that will give you the most accurate results. Record the reading and the unit that are displayed in the multimeter's display. Eng. Rose Hasan
32
To test if the diode is functioning or not, follow these steps: Adjust the digital Multi-meter for diode-testing. Connect the positive lead (Red) (+) to the anode (A(+)) and connect the negative lead (BLACK) (-) to the cathode (K(-)) Switch on the multi-meter. For a diode in a good condition the reading will be ≤ 300 mV for Ge diode and ≤ 700 mV for Si diode. Eng. Rose Hasan
34
Now connect the (RED) (+) lead to the (K(-)) and (BLACK) (-) lead to the (A(+)) For a diode in a good condition the reading will be for both types. Eng. Rose Hasan
35
To test if two points are electrically connected, follow these steps: Turn Off the power to the circuit Adjust the digital Multi-meter for continuity- testing and Switch on the multi-meter. When the probes aren't touching, the display shows "1“. Eng. Rose Hasan
37
When you touch the tips of the probes together, the display changes to a three digit mode. The multi-meter will also emit a beep. Eng. Rose Hasan
