Setup page for PHYS142 Electrical Measurements lab.

Day 1

Each station contains a full set of apparatus for each student so that everyone builds their own circuits.

Each student gets the following.

  • 60V power supply.
  • Two DMM's.
  • One set of five 1kΩ resistors.
  • One set of five resistors in the 3kΩ to 5kΩ range.
  • One set of two resistors in the 1MΩ to 10MΩ range.

The TA should have a supply of incandescent light bulbs sufficient to give each group one.

About 3 pairs of banana wires per student.

Day 2

Leave out the DMM's.

Resistors from day 1 should be replaced with one 1kΩ resistor and one capacitor for each student.

Add one function generator for each STATION.

Add one scope for each STUDENT.

Assortment of BNC T-s and BNC to double banana adapters.
