Two Demonstrations with a New Data-Acquisition System
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kraftmakher, Yaakov – Physics Teacher, 2014
Nowadays, the use of data-acquisition systems in undergraduate laboratories is routine. Many computer-assisted experiments became possible with the PASCO scientific data-acquisition system based on the 750 Interface and DataStudio software. A new data-acquisition system developed by PASCO includes the 850 Universal Interface and Capstone software.…

Demonstrations with an "LCR" Circuit
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kraftmakher, Yaakov – Physics Teacher, 2011
The "LCR" circuit is an important topic in the course of electricity and magnetism. Papers in this field consider mainly the forced oscillations and resonance. Our aim is to show how to demonstrate the free and self-excited oscillations in an "LCR" circuit. (Contains 4 figures.)

Experiments with a Varicap
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kraftmakher, Yaakov – Physics Education, 2011
The capacitance versus voltage relationship (the "C-V" characteristic) of a varicap is determined, and the device is used for tuning an "LC" circuit and for building a voltage-controlled oscillator. With a data-acquisition system, the "C-V" characteristic can be demonstrated in a short time. The necessary equipment includes a function generator,…
