4.0 THEORY

Resistor
The resistor is a passive two pole component used to limit the amount of current that is allowed to flow
at any given time as well as the voltage. Different resistors can resist more than others the way you
work out a resistors resistance is by looking at the 4 stripes on the main body of the resistor the different
colors show the resistance, using the color code you can calculate a resistance.

Capacitor
The capacitor, like a miniature rechargeable battery, has the ability or "capacity" to store energy in the
form of an electrical charge, producing a potential difference (Static Voltage) across its plates.
Capacitors come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from tiny capacitor beads used in resonance
circuits to enormous power factor correction capacitors, but they always store charge.

Transformer, Relay and Diode

The transformer, relay and diode should read a very low resistance across its terminals, only a few
ohms. If an inductor reads a high resistance, it is defective and should be replaced in the circuit. If is
reading very small resistance, less than an ohm (very close to 0Ω), this may be a sign that it's shorted.
If your diode is forward biased, then the meter will read between 1 Ω and 100 Ω if it’s in working
order. If the diode is reverse biased, then the reading on the meter should be infinite resistance, which
means the diode is open.

Continuity of Fuses
Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. A circuit is complete when its switch is
closed. A multimeter’s Continuity Test mode can be used to test switches, fuses, electrical connections,
conductors and other components. A good fuse, for example, should have continuity (0 Ohm).

LM1877N (Power Amplifier)

The LM1877 is a monolithic dual power amplifier designed to deliver 2W/channel continuous into 8Ω
loads. The LM1877 is designed to operate with a low number of external components, and still provide
flexibility for use in stereo phonographs, tape recorders and AM-FM stereo receivers, etc. Each power
amplifier is biased from a common internal regulator to provide high power supply rejection, and
output Q point centering. The LM1877 is internally compensated for all gains greater than 10.

5.0 PROCEDURES

Lab 3a
1. Use Analog multimeter, set the multimeter to ohmmeter function.
2. Select the selector knob to multiplier x1.
3. Start calibrating, short the test probes of the multimeter. The pointer must point to zero scale
because there is nothing to measure.
4. If it is not pointing to zero, calibrate it to set to zero.
5. Locate the zero ohm adjuster and rotate the knob until it point to zero. Pointer is pointing at zero
scale. It means that it is ready to use.
6. This process needs to be repeated if the range is changed.
7. Measure and record the resistor value given below by using suitable range in analogue multimeter.
8. Repeat step 7 by using digital multimeter.
9. Write down your result in Table 1.
