  • RC Circuits, Electrochemical Capacitors and Electrochromism
    Measuring Charging Currents: RC Circuits, Electrochemical Capacitors and Electrochromism. R. Corn, Chem M3LC. (Parts adapted from MIT open courseware). When a battery is connected to a circuit consisting of wires and other circuit elements like resistors and capacitors, voltages can develop across those elements and currents can flow through them. In this lab we will investigate the currents that can be measured from electrochemical cells. As a starting point, we consider circuits with a battery, a resistor and a capacitor -- an RC circuit. RC circuits Imagine you wish to measure the voltage drop across and current through a resistor in a circuit. Recall that there is a linear relationship between current through and potential difference across resistors (Ohm’s law: V = IR). To do make this measurement, you would use a voltmeter and an ammeter – similar devices that measure the amount of current flowing in one lead, through the device, and out the other lead. But they have an important difference. An ammeter has a very low resistance, so when placed in series with the resistor, the current measured is not significantly affected (Fig. 1a). A voltmeter, on the other hand, has a very high resistance, so when placed in parallel with the resistor (thus seeing the same voltage drop) it will draw only a very small amount of current (which it can convert to voltage using Ohm’s Law VR = Vmeter = ImeterRmeter), and again will not appreciably change the circuit (Fig. 1b). Figure 1: Measuring current and voltage in a simple circuit. To measure current through the resistor (a) the ammeter is placed in series with it.

  • Lab 2: DC Measurements
    University of Florida EEL 3111 — Summer 2011 Drs. E. M. Schwartz & R. Srivastava Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Ode Ojowu, TA Page 1/6 Revision 0 25-May-111 Lab 2: DC Measurements OBJECTIVES Understand the galvanometer and its limitations. Use circuit laws to build a suitable ammeter and voltmeter from the galvanometer. Understand the loading effect meters have on a circuit. MATERIALS The lab assignment (this document). Your lab parts. Pre-lab questions including Multisim. Decade resistor box. Read section 3.5 in the textbook. INTRODUCTION The moving coil galvanometer (also known as a d’Arsonval meter) shown in Fig. 1, contains a pivoted coil of fine wire Figure 1 ‒ D’Arsonval through which a current passes. The magnetic interaction between galvanometer (from Wikipedia). the magnetic field set up by this current and the magnetic field of a permanent magnet housed in the meter casing results in movement of the coil against a hair-spring (torsion spring). The resulting displacement is shown by the meter needle against a scale. The current that causes full-scale deflection (needle deflects to the maximum extent of the meter) is labeled on the galvanometer. Meter movements are usually rated by current and resistance. For our meters, this full-scale current is 1.0 mA and the meter resistance is between 2.3k and 2.4 k. The current through the meter is proportional to the deflection. If the meter deflects 40% of the full- scale (or to 0.4 on the meter), the measured current is value of 40% of 1.0 mA, i.e., 0.4 mA.
