| − | # answers to the [[Assignment 6, Part 1: Pre-lab questions|prelab questions]]
| |
| − | # answers to the following voltage divider questions:
| |
| − | #* Record the values you selected for R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>2</sub>.
| |
| − | #* Find the gain of the circuit, <math>^{V_{out}}/_{V_{in}}</math>
| |
| − | #* Plot an ''I-V'' curve with ''I'' on the vertical axis and ''V<sub>in</sub>'' on the horizontal axis, over the range 0 V < ''V<sub>in</sub>'' < 15 V. (A hand-drawn plot is fine.)
| |
| − | #* What is the maximum power dissipated in each resistor between 0 V < ''V<sub>in</sub>'' < 15 V?
| |
| − | # the measured values of your resistors.
| |
| − | # your measured voltages ''V<sub>out</sub>'' for ''V<sub>in</sub>'' = 0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 V.
| |
| − | # your measured voltage across ''R<sub>2</sub>'' in the presence of the 1kΩ resistor. By what percentage did the measurement change?
| |
| − | # Recorded values of the current through the circuit for ''V<sub>in</sub>'' = 0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 V
| |
| − | # A plot of the measured ''I-V'' curve on the same set of axes as the calculated curve.
| |
| − | # your choice of capacitor and resistor values and corresponding Bode plot. Make sure to label the cutoff frequency.
| |
| − | # a plot of the measured values of <math>\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}</math> versus frequency on the same set of axes as your Bode plot.
| |
| − | # your Bode gain and phase plots and the corresponding circuit diagram for each of the four circuits A through D. Optional: In Matlab, use <tt>nlinfit</tt> to fit parameters of a transfer function for each circuit.

'“It is exciting to discover electrons and figure out the equations that govern their movement; it is boring to use those principles to design electric can openers. From here on out, it's all can openers.”
