Lab 2: Practical Voltage and Current Measurement

Image
Objective:  Observe the changes in the voltage v(out) based on the differences in internal resistances for ideal and non-ideal voltmeters. Pre-lab: Analyze the circuit of Figure 1 to determine an expected value for the measured voltage v(out) for the cases in which the measurement of v(out) is determined using an ideal voltmeter (a voltmeter with infinite internal resistance) Ideal Voltage = 2.50 Volts Procedure: Set up the circuit as shown in figure 2.1. (See Figure 2.2 for how it should look) Measure the internal resistance with a voltmeter. Measure the internal resistance with analog discovery. Lab Results: 1.        Provide the expected output voltage for an ideal voltmeter based on your pre-lab analysis. Ideal Voltage: 2.50 Volts 2.        Provide a circuit schematic below; include measured resistance values on your schematic. Figure 2.1 – Diagram of the Circuit as provided fr...

Lab 1: Solderless Breadboards, Open-circuits and Short-circuits

Image
Objective:  Grant students familiarity with the resistance of the circuit based on the positioning of the circuit along the breadboard. Procedure: 1.        Measure the resistance between two holes in the same row. 2.        Measure the resistance between two holes on opposite sides of the breadboard. 3.        Measure the resistance between two arbitrary holes along the breadboard. 4.        Measure the resistance between two holes connected by a jumper wire. Lab Results: 1.        Provide the resistance you measured between two holes in the same row. State whether these operate as an open or closed circuit. Figure 1.1 – Resistance measured between two holes of the same row. The value turned out to be 0.04 Ohms. This is a closed circuit as there is a complete path for the current to travel through...
