Transition notes:
- The black banana plug cable not belonging to the bagged set from the previous lab can be left out.
- All of the other materials from Lab 3 need to be put away.
Equipment List:
- Two manual digital multimeters (20 VAC range) (C26.3) propped up.
- Variable AC power supply (C24.2)
- Tray for field plot (C24.1)
- 2-brass rectangular electrodes (C24.2)
- 1-brass ring electrode (C24.2)
- 2-L shaped metal rods
- Patch cables
- Plastic cup for filling the tray. (C24.3)
General Class use:
- A supply of paper towels (at the TA sinks).
- Wet/dry shop vacuum on extension cord (under the TA sinks).
Notes and tests:
- Black cables: DMM2->AC->DMM1, A->DMM2
- Red cables: DMM2->AC->B
- Red probe: DMM1
- Level the trays with a bubble level.
- Last TA of the day should vacuum out each of the trays and set them where they can dry.
- Test by turning on the power supply and the two DMMs. Adjust the power supply so DMM2 reads 4 V. Touch electrode A with the voltage probe attached to DMM1, it should read 0 V, then touch the probe to electrode B, it should read 4 V.
- The most likely problem with this set up is improper wire connections. The next is a failed power supply.
