ELECTRONICS 1 PRACTICAL 1
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
1. Oscilloscope and probes.
2. Breadboard.
3. Power supply and connectors.
4. 4 x Resistors: 1 x 5,6 k
1 x 3,3 k
1 x 6,8 k unknown resistor
INSTRUCTIONS:
Build the circuit shown and then do the following:
1. Calibrate the oscilloscope.
2. Set the power supply on 12 V using the oscilloscope.
3. Connect the 12 V to the circuit.
4. Calculate V
1
and write down the answer at results No. 1.
5. Now measure V
1
on the oscilloscope and write the answer at No. 2.
6. Now measure V
2
on the oscilloscope and write the answer at No. 3.
7. Calculate the value of the unknown resistor Rx and write it at No. 4.
RESULTS:
1. Calculated value of V
1
= V
2. Measured value of V
1
= V
3. Measured value of V
2
= V
4. Calculated value of Rx =
