Feb 24.Solderless Breadboard,open-circuit and short-circuit

In this lab we use multimeter to measure the resistance between different combinations of holes in a breadboard to identify the open-circuit and short-circuit.


Above is measurement between two holes in same row, this is short circuit because the resistance is very small. 
Above is measurement between two holes opposite sides of channels. This is open circuit because the resistance is infinite large.

Above is measurement between two arbitrary holes in the breadboard.This is open circuit because the resistance is infinite large.  

Above is measurement between holes connected by a jumper wire. This is short circuit because the resistance is very small.

Summary:
In this lab we learn how to use breadboard to connect a circuit which could be very useful in the future study. Also we reviewed what is short circuit and what is open circuit.
