ECE 201L Circuit Analysis Laboratory
Prelab 1

This lab provides experience with resistors and multimeter measurements.

1. Bring your laptop computer to the lab

2. Look up the terms Resistor, Multimeter, and Breadboard on the internet. Be prepared to discuss, describe, and demonstrate what you have learned.

3. If you wanted to buy resistors, a multimeter, and a small electronics breadboard, how much would you likely spend and where would you buy them from?

4. Given the following set of numbers, use Excel to find the average, the standard deviation, the median, and the 10-90% range.
