4 13681.03 Question 1 Requirements • 22 Ω resistor × 5 • Component holder × 3 • Opaque box to hold component holder × 3 • Connecting leads × 10 • Milliammeter to read up to 200 mA to 0.1 mA • Voltmeter to read to 0.01 V • 1.5 V cell in holder • Switch Preparation Place one of the resistors into a component holder. Connect two of the remaining resistors in series and place in a component holder. Connect the remaining two resistors in parallel and place in a component holder. Add a connecting lead to each end of the three component holders. Place each component holder into an opaque box with the end of the connecting leads exposed to enable connection to another component in a circuit. Label the box containing the resistors in parallel ‘X’, the box containing the single resistor ‘Y’ and the box containing the resistors in series ‘Z’. Before the examination Set all the apparatus on the desk separately. Set the voltmeter and ammeter to the correct settings and turn them on. Action at changeover Return the apparatus to the original arrangement on the desk. Check the settings on the meters and their batteries.
