Breadboarding
Description
Breadboarding is an essential skill for anyone who plans to design analog and/or digital circuits. In this activity you will gain experience using a breadboard to build and test simple analog circuits. In future activities we will breadboard digital circuits as well. The circuits analyzed in this activity are some of the same circuits that were analyzed by hand in Activity 1.2.2 and simulated in Activity 1.2.3. This will allow you to compare the theoretical, simulated, and measured values.
Conclusion Questions
1. The values I got for all three activities were quite similar. The only thing that impacted my results were my hand calculations (my rounding was slightly off )
2. Current is measured with a digital multi-meter in a series circuit. Voltage is measured with the meter in a parallel circuit.
3. The word "breadboard" originally was seen in the Oxford English Dictionary and came from the Ameteur Radio Handbook. A breadboard resembles a sliced piece of bread, hence the name "breadboard".
