Showing 16 experiments that use the Voltage Sensor (unshrouded).
Induction: Magnet through a Coil
The purpose of this experiment is to examine Faraday’s Law of Induction. A magnet will be dropped through a coil and the voltage across the coil graphed...
General Properties of Diodes
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the characteristic curves (I vs. V) of various types of diodes and to determine their “turn-on” voltages.
RC Circuit
The manner by which the voltage on a capacitor decreases is studied. The half-life for the decay is measured directly and also calculated using the capacitive...
Kirchhoff’s Circuit Laws
Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule and Loop Rule form the basis of all circuit analysis. Here we verify the laws for a resistive circuit.
Series and Parallel Circuits
Series/Parallel circuits are reduced to an equivalent resistance and that resistance is verified by measuring the total current and total voltage. In a...
Electric Field Mapping
This qualitative activity introduces the concepts of equipotential surfaces and electric fields. A number of rules about the electric field are verified....
Kirchhoff's Circuit Laws
Verify the laws for a resistive circuit using a DC input and for a time varying RC circuit. The DC portion and the RC portion of the lab are each stand-alone...
RC Circuit
For a capacitor discharging through a resistor, the half-life for the decay is measured directly and also calculated using the capacitive time constant.
LRC Series Circuit
The phase differences between the output voltage, the voltage across the inductor, the voltage across the capacitor, and the voltage across the resistor...
