E90: Electrical Analog Meters

 

Purpose: To make analog electrical measurements for classroom demonstrations

Description: Please select the option that you want to use in the comments box of the request form.

 

Option 1: PASCO's 750 Interface is the measurement center for the modern physics laboratory. Using a computer and the 750 Interface, students can measure force, position, temperature, pressure, angular velocity, acceleration, current, magnetic field and more. Each 750 Interface includes a built-in function generator and real-time oscilloscope mode.

The computer data can be displayed on the projectors in a variety of displays such as sweep meter, digits meter, etc.

 

Option 2: Analog Multimeter with different modules for measuring voltage and current in several ranges.

Option 3: Analog galvanometer with appropriate resistors and connection to function as an ammeter and voltmeter.

Equipment List: Storage Location: CHEMP 130A
