➤ 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.

Experiment:
Equipment:
* If your power supply does not have the capability to quantify output current, you can
measure it using an ammeter. Be sure to limit the current to 1 A max. to avoid damaging
the equipment. The value can also be calculated from the voltage drop across a small value
series resistor. This option prevents damage to a potentially sensitive ammeter.
