Experiment set ELECTRICS 8

Description

Advanced experiments with alternating current circuit

The experiment set ELECTRIC 8 starts by developing upon the semiconductor physics covered in ELECTRICITY 7, but using pre-fabricated circuit boards, which are better matched to the demands of the more complex topics than using discrete components on plug-in circuit grids.

Apart from experimental investigation of coils and capacitors in AC and DC circuits, the set’s experiments focus primarily on electromagnetic resonant circuits. The Meissner oscillator deserves special mention here. It makes it possible to visualise oscillation frequencies as low as 1 Hz.

External power supply

Unlike the ELECTRICITY 7 set, supply of electricity to the components is not provided by a battery but by a low-voltage plug-in power supply, although this is not actually included in the set.
