slope (10

) = ________ Volts/Amps

Optional

Replace the 10

resistor with the 100

resistor.

Click the “Increase Sweep Speed” button (

) in the Scope display to change the sensitivity

of the horizontal axis to 0.010 v/div.

Repeat the experiment. Record the new slope.

slope (100

) = ________ Volts/Amps

Part B – Light Bulb Filament

PART I: Computer Setup for Light Bulb Filament

For this part of the activity you will use the filament of a light bulb as the resistor. In the Com-
puter Setup you will change the Amplitude and Frequency of the output AC waveform. You will
also change some of the settings on the Scope display.

Click the Signal Generator window to make it active.

Click on the Amplitude value to highlight it. Type in “2.5” as the new value. Press the “enter” key.
