Silly Job Title: Plugerinerer. I am the Plugerinerer!

In this video we continue working through Learning the Art of Electronics. Today we build the circuit from Fig-2N.5 which is a simple RC circuit that we charge with a voltage source.

Our charge and discharge curves for the 1000 µF capacitor looked like this:

The scope measurement of charging and discharging our capacitor

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to investigate our signal.

We use the Riden RD6006 Bench Power Supply to provide 10 V for testing.

We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter for continuity testing the switch we use on the breadboard.

We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to monitor the changing voltage.

We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to measure voltage.

We use the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter to measure current.

We use the Multicomp Pro MP701033 Resistor Decade Box as our variable resistor.

We use the WilliamKlein Music Stand to hold our textbook.

We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to make notes.

We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.

We use the FNIRSI SG-002 Signal Generator as our constant current source.
