Lab for Wednesday 16 July

Tomorrow's lab has two parts.

Part the first, introducing you to the hardware and software you'll be using for the next several labs, including how to troubleshoot problems.

Part the second, in which you will investigate the behavior of different electrical components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, diodes). This lab will be partly qualitative, aimed at familiarizing you with the basic sorts of electrical components, and how they behave in circuits. Thursday's lab will be a more quantitative investigation of resistive circuits.

Print one copy per group when you arrive at the lab. Before then, have a read through each if you can, it will make things go far more smoothly.
