Objectives:

This laboratory is designed to accompany the ELE225 course. It aims to help


the student achieve the following objectives:

Use circuit construction boards, multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies


and function generators to build and test electric circuits.
Use PSpice to simulate and analyze DC, transient & AC circuits.
Document experimental results in written format.

Evaluation
The lab is assigned 15% of course grade. The lab grade is distributed
as follows:

Lab Reports 7.5 %


Lab Exam 7.5 %

Report Submission
Due one week after the completion of experiment.

Individual or group submission depending on experiment.

Late reports will be penalized by considerable grade deduction.

Copied or duplicated work will be assigned a grade of zero and will


also be reported to the course instructor.
Report Writing and Formatting
The laboratory report should be typewritten (word processor) using only one side of each
page. Hand-written reports are not acceptable. Reports should be stapled in the upper left-
hand corner. Each report should follow the outline provided below:
Cover page

Discussion and Conclusions


General Rules

Print and read the lab handout before the lab session.

Come to the lab on time and dont leave before you


complete the experiment.

keep the work place tidy and clean and return all
instruments, components, wires to their original place.

Mobile phones are to remain switched off during the lab


session.
Circuit Board
The circuit board used in the lab consists of several plastic
blocks of various sizes, all about 0.4 inch (10 mm) thick. Each
plastic block has many holes, into which you insert wires and
plug in resistors and other circuit components.
Inside the plastic block, metal clips snugly hold your wires,
etc., and ensure electric connections between circuit
components.
Some of the holes on PB are connected to each other behind
the plastic: they form nodes, to which you can connect several
things such as a resistor and a wire that goes to the power
supply.
The picture below includes solid lines drawn across each group of
connected holes.
The long rows of connected holes are typically used as bus lines such
as +5 V or the ground; in many experiments, they are connected to
the power supply.
Note that the bus lines at the top and the bottom of the board are
separated in the middle.
The colored stripes along the bus lines serve for color-coding: for
example, if you choose blue for ground, you will easily see all ground
bus lines are on your board
Short rows of 5 holes each are used to build nodes in your circuit. For example,
you can plug a resistor and a wire that goes to the power supply, as shown
below.
