Resistance

This is lab 6 of 17 in the course

by Enable Education

In this lab, students will explore concepts of resistance, while experimenting with constant current sources and the effect of changing resistance. Students will use a Wheatstone bridge to measure and calculate changing resistance values.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this lab, students will be able to:

Use the NI Automated Measurements Board to measure the change in voltage across a variable-resistance load that is connected in a closed-circuit loop with a constant current source.
Use the NI Automated Measurements Board to measure the change in current flowing through a variable-resistance load that is connected in closed-circuit loop with a constant voltage source.
Use the Wheatstone Bridge embedded in your NI Automated Measurements Board to measure resistance.
Simulate important resistance concepts using Multisim Live.
User your NI ELVIS III DMM to confirm measurement results obtained from the NI Automated Measurements Board
