Lecture #11 Outline: Basics of Electrical Measurements - Voltage, Current, Resistance - DC vs. AC - Ohms Law Basic Electronic Instrumentation - How to use a Digital Multimeter Basic Circuit Construction - How to use a breadboard (the electrical kind!) Build Simple Electronic CircuitsResistive Divider Photoconductors - V Dr. Mike Nofziger 2014 Lecture 11

Basics of Electrical Measurements: Voltage, Current, Resistance - Voltage (EMF) is the force that causes electrons to flow in a circuit. It has units of volts [V, mV, μV, kV, MV, etc.]. It is the equivalent to the water pressure in a garden hose. - Current is the flow of electrons per second, past any given point in an electrical circuit. It has units of amperes. [A, mA, uA, etc.] It is the equivalent to how much water flows out of the garden hose per second. - Resistance is what restricts the flow of electrons in an electrical circuit. It has units of ohms. [ Ω, m Ω, k Ω, M Ω, etc.] It is the equivalent to a restriction in the garden hose that limits the flow of water (the diameter of the hose, a kink in it, etc.) Dr. Mike Nofziger 2014 Lecture 11

Basics of Electrical Measurements: DC Direct Current (also DCV for DC voltage) DC circuit an electrical circuit where the voltage (and therefore the current) is constant as a function of time: batteries a power supply the +5V supplied by a USB computer connector …? AC Alternating Current (also ACV for AC voltage) AC circuit an electrical circuit where the voltage (and therefore the current) varies with time: the 120VAC supplied by your power company the output of a transformer the output of a DC-AC converter (a power inverter) …? Wall plug-in transformers (a.k.a. wall-warts) can supply either an AC or a DC voltage…!?! Dr. Mike Nofziger 2014 Lecture 11

Basics of Electrical Measurements: Some AC waveforms: NOTE: A photoconductor can be used to measure time-varying optical signals (producing an AC voltage), or a constant level of light (producing a DC voltage. In our lab, we will only work with constant light levels.) Dr. Mike Nofziger 2014 Lecture 11
