Setup page for PHYS142 Electrical Measurements lab.
Day 1
Each station contains a full set of apparatus for each student so that everyone builds their own circuits.
Each station gets.
- 1 - Dual 50V power supply. From KPTC-208
- The TA should have a supply of incandescent light bulbs sufficient to give each group one. Note that the light bulbs are in holders that are soldered to wire leads. I use alligator clips to allow these to be connected to banana wires.
Each student gets the following.
- Two DMM's.
- Three ~1kΩ resistors.
- One resistor in the 1MΩ to 10MΩ range. 10MΩ are marked with a dot on the acrylic base.
- 2 pair of short banana wires.
DMM's, resistors, light bulbs all found in the middle cabinet, top two shelves.
Day 2
Leave out the DMM's.
Resistors from day 1 should be replaced with one 1kΩ resistor and one capacitor for each student.
Add one function generator for each STATION. Found in middle cabinet.
Add one scope for each STUDENT. Middle cabinet has ~6 scopes. Extras scavenged from basement and 208.
Assortment of BNC T-s and BNC to double banana adapters. Swipe what you need from 208.
