2/28 Solderless Breadboards, Open-circuits and Short-circuits

      The purpose of this lab is to observe how the breadboard works and have a better understand of actual circuit. Prepare for the future lab.

1. Provide the resistance you measured between two holes in same row. State whether these operate as open or closed circuit.

According to this photo. The value of DMM is 0.6 which means this is a closed circuit.

2. Provide the resistance you measured between two holes opposite sides of channel. Characterize as open or closed circuit.

According to this photo. The value on DMM is 1 which means this is a open circuit.

3. Provide the resistance you measured between two arbitrary holes in the breadboard. Characterize as open or closed circuit.

According to this photo. The value on DMM is 1 which means this is a open circuit.

4.Provide the resistance you measured between holes connected by a jumper wire. Characterize as open or closed circuit.

According to this photo. The value on DMM is 011 which means this is a closed circuit.

Summary

        In today's class we learned the basic ideas about the circuit: the open circuit and closed circuit. The basic requirement for a circuit to work properly. We also did some examples that how to calculate the resistance, voltage and current.
