DC Circuits
In this lab, students will use a voltage–current sensor and an AC/DC electronics laboratory to construct simple resistor circuits with resistors in series or parallel, or both (with at most one parallel loop of resistors), to demonstrate the validity of Kirchhoff's loop rule (conservation of energy), and Kirchhoff’s junction rule (conservation of charge).

Featured Equipment
PASPORT Voltage-Current Sensor
This sensor allows students to safely measure voltage and current without overload risk.
AC/DC Electronics Laboratory
Facilitates electricity experiments for AC and DC. Can be used as a stand-alone with a multimeter or with PASCO sensors and software.
Support
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
