➤ NOTE: Although the instructions for experiments in this manual are for mechanical setups
with specific PASCO equipment, the experiments in this manual may be set up in a variety of ways,
depending upon the equipment you have available. They can all be done with or without the
PASCO Science Workshop computer interface. Table 1 lists the equipment suggested for optional
experimental setups. You may be able to substitute other equipment for the PASCO models listed
in this table.
*If your power supply does not have the capability to quantify output current, you will need
to measure it using an ammeter, or preferably, by calculating it from the voltage drop
across a small value series resistor. (This option avoids the potential for damage to a
sensitive ammeter.)
It is important to limit the current to a maximum of 1 A to avoid
damaging the armature.
