Name:_______________________________ 4-digit Code Number:_______________________________

  1. Draw the symbols for the following circuit elements: a battery, a light, a resistor, and a switch.
  2. Draw a circuit diagram for two resistors in parallel connected to a battery.
  3. In a second circuit diagram, add a light in series with the pair of resistors in the circuit above.
  4. What precautions should be noted before measuring resistance with the digital multimeter? To what setting should the function switch be set? Into which two of the four jacks should the probe leads be inserted?
  5. What precautions should be noted before measuring voltage with the digital multimeter? To what setting should the function switch be set? Into which two of the four jacks should the probe leads be inserted?
