Showing 19 experiments that use the AC/DC Electronics Laboratory.
Series Parallel Circuits
Series/Parallel circuits are reduced to an equivalent resistance and that resistance is verified by measuring the total current and total voltage. Also,...
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...
Properties of Diodes
Investigate the characteristic curves (I vs. V) of various types of diodes and to determine their “turn-on” voltages.
Build a Rectifier
Build a half wave rectifier and to examine its properties. An RC filter circuit is then added to produce a DC power supply and the dependence on the RC...
Induction: Magnet through a Coil
Examine Faraday's Law of Induction: A magnet is dropped through a coil and the voltage across the coil graphed as a function of time. The total integrated...
Magnetic Field in a Current Carrying Coil
The radial and axial magnetic fields of a current carrying coil are plotted versus position as the...
