Summary
The principal challenge here is simply to get used to the breadboard and the way to connect instruments to it. We do not expect you to find Ohm’s law surprising. Try to build your circuit on the breadboard, not in the air. Novices often begin by suspending a resistor between the jaws of alligator clips that run to power supply and meters. Try to do better: plug the two leads of the DUT (“Device Under Test”) into the plastic breadboard strip.
