Introduction
The EM-8656 AC/DC Electronics Laboratory is designed
for both DC and AC electricity experiments. The circuit
board can be powered by batteries for DC experiments or
it can be powered by a computer equipped with a Power
Amplifier for AC experiments. The AC experiments
could also be performed without a Power Amplifier if a
function generator is available. The first ten experiments in this manual are DC experi-
ments using battery power and multimeters rather than
using a computer. The rest of the experiments use a
computer (MAC or PC) with a Power Amplifier. The
software used is Science Workshop™.
