Objective

        This was the first lab, as such it was relatively straight forward. I believe it was mostly for the purpose of making sure everyone sets up the blogger acount and invites the teacher.

Measurements

         First, two leads were placed on the the same row of a breadboard. A measurement of resistance was made; .4 ohms. 

       Next, two leads were placed between on separate rows. Once again, a measure of resistance was made. The reading was made; 1   .

       Next, the jumper was moved to any random spot of the board, not in the same row. This reading was also a 1    .

       Lastly, the same setup was made, with the addition a jumper between the two rows. Yet again, measurement were made.This time the reading was same as the reading on the same row.

       

Conclusion

       in conclusion, the breadboard is made up of connected rows and strips. In the second measurement, the resistant, essentially was driven to infinity, as the two areas are not connected. That same thing was true of the third measurement. In the case of the final measurement; resistance should increase proportionally to length. I suspect the change  was small enough not to register on the meter.
