PC/CP200 Electronics Lab I

DC Circuit Postlab

  1. What was the biggest challenge about doing this lab?
    Discuss this as part of your summary.
  2. In one part of the lab, a pull-up resistor was used to properly implement a switch. I had commented that this almost looked like a voltage divider. Is it a special case of the voltage divider? Explain and justify.
    Discuss this as part of your summary.
  3. Develop the circuit for the switch in a pull-down resistor configuration. Explain how the circuit works. How is this different from the pull-up configuration?
    Discuss this as part of your summary.
  4. Summarize what you learned doing the lab. I strongly recommend that you do this within 24 hours of completing the lab. You are summarizing the lab experience not the assigned readings. The summary should be:
    • in point form
    • in your lab notebook
    • maximum 2 pages.
  5. Photocopy your summary including the question answers and submit it to the instructor at the beginning of next week's lab.
