Important note: The most common mistake when using a multimeter is not switching the test leads when switching between current sensing and any other type of sensing (voltage, resistance). It is critical that the test leads be in the proper jacks for the measurement you are making. Safety Information Be sure the test leads and rotary switch are in the correct position for the desired measurement. Never use the meter if the meter or the test leads look damaged. Never measure resistance in a circuit when power is applied. Never touch the probes to a voltage source when a test lead is plugged into the 10 A or 300 mA input jack. To avoid damage or injury, never use the meter on circuits that exceed 4800 watts. Never apply more than the rated voltage between any input jack and earth ground (600 V for the Fluke 73). Be careful when working with voltages above 60 V DC or 30 V AC rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test probes when making measurements. To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears.

C. FUNCTION GENERATOR

A function generator is a device that can produce various patterns of voltage at a variety of frequencies and amplitudes. It is used to test the response of circuits to common input signals. The electrical leads from the device are attached to the ground and signal input terminals of the device under test.

Features and controls Most function generators allow the user to choose the shape of the output from a small number of options.

A component may be classified as passive or active. The strict physics definition treats passive components as ones that cannot supply energy themselves, whereas a battery would be seen as an active component since it truly acts as a source of energy. Passive components are ones which cannot introduce net energy into the circuit they are connected to. They also cannot rely on a source of power except for what is available from the (AC) circuit they are connected to. As a consequence they are unable to amplify (increase the power of a signal), although they may well increase a voltage or current such as is done by a transformer or resonant circuit. Among passive components are familiar two-terminal components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transformers. Active components rely on a source of energy (usually from the DC circuit, which we have chosen to ignore) and are usually able to inject power into a circuit although this is not part of the definition[1]. This includes amplifying components such as transistors, triode vacuum tubes(valves), and tunnel diodes. Passive components can be further divided into lossless and lossy components: Lossless components do not have a net power flow into or out of the component. This would include ideal capacitors, inductors, transformers, and the (theoretical) gyrator. Lossy or dissipative components do not have that property and generally absorb power from the external circuit over time. The prototypical example is the resistor. In practice all non-ideal passive components are at least a little lossy, but these are typically modeled in circuit analysis as consisting of an ideal lossless component with an attached resistor to account for the loss. Most passive components with more than two terminals can be described in terms of two-port parameters satisfying the principle of reciprocity, although there are some rare exceptions[2]. In contrast, active components (which have more than two terminals) generally lack that property. Note that these distinctions only apply to components listed below which would be modeled as elements within circuit analysis. Practical items which act as transducers or have other connections to the outside world such as switches, cannot be subject to this form of classification since they defy the view of the electronic circuit as a closed system.

F. BREAD BOARD

A breadboard is used to build and test circuits quickly before finalizing any circuit design. The breadboard has many holes into which circuit components like ICs and resistors can be inserted. A typical breadboard is shown below:

The bread board has strips of metal which run underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of the board. The metal strips are laid out as shown below. Note that the top and bottom rows of holes are connected horizontally while the remaining holes are connected vertically.

To use the bread board, the legs of components are placed in the holes. Each set of holes connected by a metal strip underneath forms a node. A node is a point in a circuit where two components are connected. Connections between different components are formed by putting their legs in a common node. The long top and bottom row of holes are usually used for power supply connections. The rest of the circuit is built by placing components and connecting them together with jumper wires. ICs are placed in the middle of the board so that half of the legs are on one side of the middle line and half on the other. A completed circuit might look like the following.

Q: How the frequency of a function generator is controlled? A: By varying the magnitude of current that drives the integrator Q: What is a regulated power supply? A: An electronic circuit which provide constant DC voltage of predetermined value across load terminals, which is independent of variations in load current. Q: What are the basic components of a regulated power supply? A: A transformer, rectifier circuit, filter, voltage regulator Q: What is the need of voltage regulators? A: To keep output voltage constant against variations in load current & in AC mains voltage. Q. what is breadboard? A. A breadboard is used to build and test circuits quickly before finalizing any circuit design. The breadboard has many holes into which circuit components like ICs and resistors can be inserted. Q. What is the difference between active and passive components? A. Passive elements don't require power from the supply to produce its effect on a signal. They derive the power of the input signal to perform its action. for example, a resistor doesn't require a separate supply to provide its action of resistance in a circuit. Where as in active elements there should be a power source for its working. They require a supply for there working. For instance, transistors - Only after biasing the transistor in required region of operation, its characteristics are applied on the signal. i.e, for amplification, transistor requires a source from where it can work in.

EXPERIMENT NO. 3(a)

AIM: To study and draw the characteristics of half wave and full

wave rectifiers.

APPRATUS REQUIRED: Power supply, rectifier kit, CRO, Connecting leads.

BRIEF THEORY: Rectification is a process of conversion of AC to DC. In

half-wave rectifier, only one diode is used. During +ve half cycle the diode is forward biased & it conducts current through the load resistor R .During –ve half cycle diode is reverse biased Hence, no current flow through the circuit. Only +ve half cycle appears across the load, whereas, the –ve half cycle is suppressed.

Full Wave Rectifier: In full-wave rectifier, when a.c supplied at the input, both the half cycle current flows through the load in the same direction. The following two circuits are commonly employed. Centre-tap full-wave Rectifier: In this rectifier, two diode & a center-tap transformer is used. During +ve half cycle the diode D1 is forward biased & D2 is reverse biased. Output will be obtained across load resistor R .During –ve half cycle diode D1 is reverse biased &D2 is forward biased. Output will be obtained cross load resistor R & the direction of output is same i.e., DC output is obtained. Bridge Rectifier: The circuit Contains four diodes connected to form a bridge. In this an ordinary transformer is used. During +ve half cycle of secondary voltage, diodes D1 & D3 are forward Biased & diodes D2& D4 are reverse biased & vice versa.

EXPERIMENT NO. 3(b)

AIM: To study and draw the characteristics of rectifier filter circuit.

APPRATUS REQUIRED: Power supply, filter kit, CRO, Connecting leads.

BRIEF THEORY: The output from any rectifier is not pure dc but also has some

ac components, called ripples along it. It is important to reduce ripples from the pulsating dc supply available from rectifier circuits to the minimum. This is achieved by using a filter circuit which removes the ac components and allows only dc components to reach the load. A filter circuit is a device that converts pulsating output into a steady dc level. A filter circuit is generally a combination of inductors & capacitors. The filtering action of L & C depends upon the facts that an inductor allows dc only & capacitor allows ac only to pass.

EXPERIMENT NO. 3(C)

AIM: Study of Clipping & Clamping circuit.

APPRATUS REQUIRED: Power supply, Clipping & Clapping circuit,

Connecting leads, CRO.

BRIEF THEORY:

Clipping: The clippers have the ability to remove signal voltages above or below a specified level & hence change the wave shape of the I/P signal. Most of the clippers employ diodes & are known as diode clippers. Different type of clippers are-

Positive & Negative clipper: A circuit that removes +ve half-cycle of the signal is called +ve clipper. Some times, it is required to remove the –ve half cycle of the I/P signal, the only thing to be done is to reverse the polarity of the diode connected across load, such a clipper is known as a –ve clipper. Biased clipper: A clipper used to remove a small portion of +ve or –ve half cycle of the signal Voltage is called a biased clipper. A diode is employed in series with a battery of different volts depending upon the requirement. Combination clipper: In this circuit small portion of +ve as well as small portion of

- ve half- Cycle of the signal voltage is removed.

Clamper: A clamping circuit adds d.c component to the signal in such away that it pushes the signal either on the +ve side or on the –ve side. When the circuit pushes the signal on the +ve side then –ve peak of the signal falls on the zero level, this circuit is called a +ve clamper. When the circuit pushes the signal on the –ve side, this is –ve clamper.
