Below, we cover each lab, the tools it uses, and concepts that can help you teach your students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lab 1: Resistor-Capacitor Circuits<\/b><\/h2>\n

Designed for an introductory circuits course, Lab 1 covers how RC circuits respond to DC and AC voltage sources, and how that behavior translates into high-pass and low-pass filter design. Students work through the theory analytically, verify it in<\/span> Multisim Live<\/span><\/a>, then wire up the circuit themselves in<\/span> Fritzing<\/span><\/a> and on the<\/span> Analog Discovery 2<\/span><\/a>, using the cursors on the Oscilloscope to measure the charge\/discharge time constant directly. For a challenge, students combine the high-pass and low-pass stages they’ve built to design their own band-pass and band-stop filters.<\/span><\/p>\n
