Teaching Assistants • Anand Ambardar • David Pelster
Agenda • Lab Safety (repeat) • Voltage • Current • Electric Circuits • Resistors • Color code
Breadboards • Circuit construction techniques • Power Supply: 8102 Lodestar DC Power Supply • Virtual Instruments: Multimeter NI 4060
Vocabulary • Electric Circuit • Voltage • Current • Parallel • Series
Voltage • Potential Difference between two points • Always has polarity (+/-) • Measure voltage in parallel
Current: Amperes (A) • The flow of electrical charge through a conductor or circuit element • Current flow requires a continuous path • Measure current in SERIES • Direction is important
Electric circuits • Current flow requires a continuous path • Voltage can appear across an open circuit
Series Circuits • Current in Series circuits is the same
Parallel Circuits • Voltage in parallel circuits is the same • Va = Vb = Vc
Resistors • Carbon • Wire wound • Precision • Power Rating
Breadboards • Power and Ground • Components • Rows and Columns
Lodestar 8102 Power Supply • Dual 30 V 3 A • Independent • Series • Parallel • Dual ended (+/-)
Lodestar 8102 Controls ON/OFF Mode Selector Volt – Fine and Coarse Current limiter Output Terminals Meters
Lodestar 8102 Operation • Series • Parallel • Independent • Dual Ended • GROUND
Multimeter Control Panel • Volts AC & DC • Current AC & DC • Resistance
Summary • Lab Safety (repeat) • Voltage • Current • Electric Circuits • Resistors • Color code • Breadboards • Circuit construction techniques • Power Supply: 8102 Lodestar DC Power Supply • Virtual Instruments: Multimeter NI 4060
