Identification
Description
In the field of electronics, there are an endless number of different types of components. The ability to identify these components and to understand how they are labeled is an essential skill for anyone working in the field. In this activity you will identify and determine the nominal values for a series of resistors and capacitors. We will concentrate on resistors and capacitors because they are part of virtually every electronics design ever made.
Conclusion Questions
1. Measured values of resistors are different from the stated values because resistors are manufactures with different tolerances, ie they're allowed to be a both a bit above as well as below the target value. Also, if you are using a simple multimeter, there's no telling how close the measured value is to the real value.
