Background
Figures. Each Figure must have a descriptive title and a number. Units must be included for all numerical values. Figures must be neat and easy to read and understand.
Data. Data is to be taken in ink. It must be clear as to what the data refers to. Do not forget units.
Sample calculations. Sample calculations are used to demonstrate how results were obtained. Label each sample calculation so that it is clear as to what it refers to. Each sample calculation should include a symbol equation and a set of numerical values, a result, and units, such as
R = V/l
= 10 volts / 2 amps = 5 ohms
Equipment
Oscilloscope
DC power supply
Digital multimeter
Function generator
Resistors
PC with PSPICE.
Procedure
1. Measure the internal resistance of the oscilloscope.
1.1 Connect the circuit in Figure 1 using the oscilloscope channel 1 for Ri.
2. Set Rv to 0 (. Set the oscilloscope channel 1 sensitivity to 1 volt/div. Adjust the DC power supply to about 8 volts. Use the oscilloscope for this measurement. Record this voltage, Vps, on the data sheet.
3. Select a nominal 10 M( resistor for Rv. Record the voltage Vi on the data sheet. Remove this resistor, Rv, from the circuit and measure its resistance using the DMM. Record this resistance on the data sheet.
4. Calculate the internal resistance of the oscilloscope, Ros, and record on the data sheet. Show this calculation.

5.1 Write and run two PSPICE programs, one to calculate the open circuit voltage, Voc, and one to calculate the short circuit current, Isc, for the circuit in Figure 3.
5.2 Print the above 2 output files. Add the label "=Voc" next to the open circuit voltage. Add the label ''=Isc'' next to the short circuit current. Attach these output files. Record Voc and Isc on the data sheet.
5.3 Calculate the Thevenin voltage, Vth, and the Thevenin resistance, Rth. Add these values to Figure 4 and to the data sheet. Show your calculation.
5.4 Erase your files from the hard disk. You're welcome to keep your files on your own floppy disk.
