Title: Lab Prep: Measuring Voltage Experiment. FACET Lab: Circuit Block on Batteries; Circuit Block on Switches
Course: Open ELT106 Fundamentals of DC/AC > Section: MODULE 1: Getting Started in Electronics DC/AC

Lab Prep

Purpose: To become familiar with a digital multi-meter and use it to measure DC voltage.

Method: Measure the voltage of several batteries and record the results.

Procedure:

1. Set the rotary switch to read voltage

2. Use the select  button to measure DC

3. Set the range button to Automatic.

4. Attach the black test probe to the minus

terminal of a nine volt battery.

5. Attach the red test probe to the positive

terminal of the battery

6. Record the voltage.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 using the

1.5 volt battery.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 using the

unknown battery.

Data:

9 volt battery Voltage  ___________

1.5 volt battery voltage___________

Unknown battery voltage_________

Results:     This completes the lab prep. Please disconnect the set up and turn off the muti-meter.  Thanks

FACET Labs: Using the Lab-Volt system in the mobile lab perform the two DC Fundamentals FACET circuit blocks labelled Batteries and Switches.
