PHY 1124 Section 25.4, Halliday, D., Resnick, R., Walker, J., Fundamentals of Physics, 9th Chapters 26 and 27 edition. Wiley (2011). Objectives Part 1 Measuring a resistance value – Read the colour coded value of a resistor. Use an Ohmmeter. Part 2 Ohm’s law – Prepare circuits on a solderless breadboard. Use a voltmeter and an ammeter. Investigate all variables involved in the Ohm’s law relationship. Part 3 Combination of resistors – Investigate simple electrical circuits: series, parallel, and mixed. Understand the effective resistance concept. Part 4 Voltages and currents in circuits (Kirchhoff’s rules) – Experimentally verify the Kirchhoff’s rules of circuit analysis for a simple example. Part 5 Combinations of capacitors & RC circuits – Understand the effective capacitor concept. Observe how capacitors behave in RC circuits. Familiarize yourself with the use of an oscilloscope. Materials Computer equipped with Logger Pro Computer equipped with the National Instrument virtual instruments National Instrument myDAQ data acquisition system Wire kit and breadboard Resistors (470 , 1 k and 3.3 k) and capacitors (0.1 F and 0.22 F) Safety warnings You should always disconnect your circuit from the power source to use the Ohmmeter. You should also always double check your circuit before adding the power source. In case of doubt, ask your TA to verify your circuit.
