  • Make sure to check students' setups before they begin data collection.

  • It may be difficult to pinpoint the peak power from the "Secondary Power" graph. You may choose to assist students or have them use the smoothing feature in DataStudio.

  • If you do not have a Decade Resistance Box, you can use individual resistors.

  • The lab may be changed to a Step-Down transformer by switching the output to the Secondary Coil.
