Lab 18: Current & Electric Circuits

 

Equipment List:

  1. Electric Circuit Kit in red box: (D3.3) 
    • 2.2 Volt light bulb (#222, 2.2 V, 0.25 A)
    • 10 Volt bulb with socket (ML50, 10 V, 0.23 A)
    • 100 ohm (brown, black, brown) & 150 ohm (brown, green, brown) carbon resistors
    • Size D battery with battery holder
    • Six 9" Alligator to alligator wires
  2. Analog ammeter, 0 ~10 A (D4.5)
  3. 0 ~11 Volt variable power supply - (D4.4)
  4. Digital Multimeter (D4.1)
    • Black long banana plug cable (D3.H) with black alligator clip adapter (C1.2)
    • Red long banana plug cable (D4.H) with red alligator clip adapter (C1.2)
  5. Spring switch (telegraph) (D4.2)

Notes and Tests :

  1. Check that all the bulbs work and that spares are set out for the class to replace burned out bulbs.
  2. Test the battery before each use. All batteries should test at the 80% level or better.
  3. Test that all power supplies and ammeters work properly.
