➤ NOTE: For quick reference, see the Experiment Notes window. To bring a display to the top,

click on its window or select the name of the display from the list at the end of the Display
menu. Change the Experiment Setup window by clicking on the “Zoom” box or the Restore
button in the upper right hand corner of that window.

➃

The Signal Generator is set to output 3.00 V, sine AC waveform, at 10.00 Hz. The “ON/OFF”
button is set to “Auto” so the Signal Generator will start automatically when you click MON
(Monitor) or REC (Record) and stop automatically when you click STOP or PAUSE.

➄

Arrange the Scope display and the Signal Generator window so you can see both of them.

PART II: Sensor Calibration and Equipment Setup

•

You do not need to calibrate the Power Amplifier.

➀

Connect a 5 inch wire lead between a component spring next to the top banana jack, and the
component spring at the right hand edge of the inductor coil.

➁

Connect the 10

Ω

resistor (brown, black, black)

between the component spring at the left hand
edge of the inductor coil, and the second compo-
nent spring to the left of the top banana jack.

➂

Connect the 100

F capacitor between the compo-

nent spring nearest to the one in which one end of
the 10

Ω

resistor is connected, and a component

spring nearest to the bottom banana jack at the
lower right corner of the AC/DC Electronics Lab
Board.

➃

Put alligator clips on the banana plugs of the
Voltage Sensor. Connect the alligator clips of the
Voltage Sensor to the wires at both ends of the 10

Ω

resistor.

➄

Connect banana plug patch cords from the output
of the Power Amplifier to the banana jacks on the
AC/DC Electronics Lab Board.
