Practicum: Measure voltage, current, resistance and calculate power
We already reviewed some of the fundamental building blocks of electric circuits and in this practical example, we will show how to measure resistance and current using a multimeter and how to measure voltage with Digilent's Discovery 3. We then calculate the power dissipated in a resistor using those measure values.
If none of this makes any sense, then you should check out the conceptual lesson that teaches about the basics of voltage, current, and resistance. You can find it here: https://www.circuitbread.com/tutorial...
As mentioned, we made this video with Digilent, Inc ( @DigilentInc ) and are thankful for their support! We love more practical or hands-on circuits projects as we feel they are incredibly useful to help in the learning process.
