Procedures CAUTION: High voltages are present in this experiment! Do not make any connection with the power on! The power should be turned off after completing each individual measurement. 1. For each of the following circuits: a. Calculate the unknown quantities using the equations presented in the THEORY section. Show all calculations in the space provided adjacent to the circuit. b. Record your calculated results in the space provided. c. Using your modules connect the circuit as shown in each figure. d. Turn-on the power supply and adjust for the value of current as specified in each procedure. e. Make the required measurements and record them in the space provided. f. Return the voltage to zero and turn-off the power supply. g. Compare your calculated values with your measured values.
