This week I was only able to get through one lab, since we were actively working on the midterm. I successfully powered-up a DC motor using a 9V power supply and controlled it with a potentiometer. Here is the set up:
The video shows the variable speed of the motor:
! remaining questions!
Most of my questions from this week are about diodes:
- What do the numbers on the diode mean and what is the difference between different diodes?
- How to we know the direction of the diode and which way should it be pointing when connected to collector and emitter?
- Which was does the electricity flow, or more specifically, how does the diode prevent the wrong flow of electricity?
