Chapter 02 - Resistance is Futile

In this section we will be learning how to: identify resistors by their color code, properly use a multi-meter to measure both resistance and voltage, and we will learn how a potentiometer works. This will be a bit more teacher led than the other sections in this course.

Work through the following:

  1. Introduction to Resistors
  2. Take resistor quiz in Schoology
  3. Multimeters
  4. Variable Resistors

Standards

A-2.1

Resistor Color Codes: I can use the color code to determine the value of a resistor and I can determine the color code of a resistor if given a resistor value.

A-2.2

Multimeter Use Resistance: I can set a multimeter to the most appropriate setting to measure resistance. 

A-2.3

Multimeter Use Voltage: I can set a multimeter to the most appropriate setting to measure voltage 

A-2.4

Variable Resistors: I can  use a potentiometer appropriately in a circuit.
