EVERYDAY ELECTRONICS LAB COURSE

WELCOME

 

 

Students should visit this page before each lab period. I will prepare introductory comments that will assist you in the lab. Announcements and general information will also appear.

 Here are some animations that might help clarify V, I, R

·      Simple battery resistor circuit

·      Battery and parallel resistors

·      Battery and series resistors

·      Ohms Law

Also view these which were obtained from the Elenco website. These animations may help clarify the behavior of components in circuits.
