Lab4 A: Build circuits on breadboard
Reading time: 15 mins
In this prelab, we will focus on two topics:
- Build a simple circuit on breadboard.
- Measure voltage and current using a multimeter.
- A breadboard is the most important component in your lab kits. It is the foundation for any circuits you want to build. The advantage of building circuits on a breadboard is that it is completely solderless and you can modify and correct your circuits at any time.
The following video talks about the history and structure of a breadboard.
2. In Lab3, we learned how to use a multimeter to measure resistance. A multimeter can also measure voltage and current. Pay attention to the differences between these two measurements, dial position and probe connection.
The following video introduces how to use a multimeter to measure voltage and current.
Now you can work on the quiz on Blackboard. In your lab session, we will practice how to use a circuit using your lab kits.
