ABSTRACT
This chapter presents several practical laboratory experiments to help supplement and enhance academic studies. The list of experiments is not exhaustive, but covers some of the more important aspects of early electrical engineering studies. Experiments covered are: Ohm's law, Series–parallel direct current (d.c.) circuit, superposition theorem, Leon Charles Thevenin's theorem and use of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) to measure voltage. It also covers frequency and phase, use of CRO with a bridge rectifier circuit, measurement of the inductance of a coil, series alternating current (a.c.) circuit and resonance, parallel a.c. circuit and resonance, charging and discharging a capacitor. Ohm's law determines the voltage–current relationship in a d.c. circuit. Superposition theorem provides to measure and calculate the current in each branch of a series–parallel circuit. Measurement of the inductance of a coil discusses to measure the inductance of a coil. Series a.c. circuit and resonance aims to measure and record current and voltages in an a.c. series circuit at varying frequencies.
