Ammeter:

An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.


Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. Instruments used to measure
smaller currents, in the milli-ampere or microampere range, are designated as milli-
ammeters or micro-ammeters. Early ammeters were laboratory instruments which relied on
the Earth's magnetic field for operation. By the late 19th century, improved instruments
were designed which could be mounted in any position and allowed accurate measurements
in electric power systems.

Fig: 2.2 Ammeter connected in circuit

Voltmeter:

A voltmeter, also known as a voltage meter, is an instrument used for measuring the
potential difference, or voltage, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.
Some voltmeters are intended for use in direct current (DC) circuits; others are designed for
alternating current (AC) circuits. Specialized voltmeters can measure radio frequency (RF)
voltage.

A basic analog voltmeter consists of a sensitive galvanometer (current meter) in series with
a high resistance. The internal resistance of a voltmeter must be high.

A digital voltmeter shows voltage directly as numerals. Some of these meters can determine
voltage values to several significant figures. Practical laboratory voltmeters have maximum
ranges of 1000 to 3000 volts (V). Most commercially manufactured voltmeters have several
scales, increasing in powers of 10; for example, 0-1 V, 0-10 V, 0-100 V, and 0-1000 V.

Fig: 2.3 Connection of Ammeter and voltmeter

6 Applied Electronics
Department of Electrical Engineering MUET SZAB Campus Khairpur Mirs

Wattmeter:

It is an instrument that measures electric power. A variety of wattmeter is available to


measure the power in ac circuits. They are generally classified by names descriptive of their
operating principles. Determination of power in dc circuits is almost always done by
separate measurements of voltage and current. However, some of the instruments described
will also function in dc circuits, if desired.

Probably the most useful instrument in the measurement of ac power at


commercial frequencies is the indicating (deflecting) electrodynamics wattmeter. It is
similar in principle to the double-coil dc ammeter or voltmeter in that it depends on the
interaction of the fields of two sets of coils, one fixed and the other movable.

Fig: 2.4 Connections of Watt meter


Oscilloscope:

An oscilloscope draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows
how signals change over time, with the vertical (Y) axis representing voltage and the
horizontal (X) axis representing time. You can find out many things about a signal from this
graph, including:
• The time and voltage values of a signal.
• The frequency of an oscillating signal.
• How much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).

Fig: 2.5 Digital Oscilloscopes

7 Applied Electronics
Department of Electrical Engineering MUET SZAB Campus Khairpur Mirs

A stand-alone oscilloscope looks like a small television set, except that it has a grid
(called a graticule) drawn on its screen and it has more controls than a television. The
front panel of an oscilloscope normally has control sections divided into vertical,
horizontal, and trigger sections.

Oscilloscopes are used by anyone who needs to monitor or analyze a regularly occurring, or
cyclic, phenomenon.

Function Generator:

A signal generator can produce any of various selectable waveforms, such as those of sine,
square, and saw tooth waves, over a wide range of frequencies. It is also called waveform
generator.
It is a circuit or device within an analog computer whose output signal corresponds to the value of a given
function. As its input variables vary, so does its output.

DC Power supply:

A DC power supply is a device that supplies electrical energy to one or more DC electric
loads. The term is most commonly applied to devices that convert one form of electrical
energy to another, though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy
(e.g., mechanical, chemical, solar) to electrical energy. A DC regulated power supply is one
that controls the output voltage or current to a specific value; the controlled value is held
nearly constant despite variations in either load current or the voltage supplied by the power
supply's energy source.

An AC powered unregulated power supply usually uses a transformer toconvert the voltage
from the wall outlet (mains) to a different, nowadays usually lower, voltage. If it is used to
produce DC, a rectifier is used to convert alternating voltage to a pulsating direct voltage,
followed by a filter, comprising one or more capacitors, resistors, and sometimes inductors,
to filter out (smooth) most of the pulsation. A small remaining unwanted alternating voltage
component at mains or twice mains power frequency (depending upon
Whether half- or full-wave rectification is used) ripple is unavoidably superimposed on the
direct output voltage.
Multimeter (DMM):

A multimeter is an electrical instrument capable of measuring voltage, current, and


resistance. Digital multimeters have numerical displays, like digital clocks, for indicating the
quantity of voltage, current, or resistance. Analog multimeters indicate these quantities by
means of a moving pointer over a printed scale.

Analog multimeter tends to be less expensive than digital multimeters and more beneficial as
learning tools for the first-time student of electricity. I strongly recommend purchasing an
analog multimeter before purchasing a digital multimeter, but to eventually have both in
your tool kit for these experiments.

Definition:
Photodiode is a special diode which works on the intensity of light. As light falls
over its junction it will conduct current and allow to pass it.
Representing symbol is given below.

Working principle:
• The photodiode is a device that operates in reverse bias. As shown in Figure, where Iλ is the
reverse current.
• The photodiode has a small transparent window that allows light to strike the pn junction.
• When reverse-biased. A rectifier diode has a very small reverse leakage current. The same is
true for a photodiode.
• The reverse-biased current is produced by thermally generated electron-hole pairs in the
depletion region which are swept across the junction by the electric field created by the
reverse voltage.
• Figure and representing symbol is shown below

• A photodiode differs from a rectifier diode in that when its pn junction is exposed to light,
the reverse current increases with the light intensity

• When there is no incident light. The reverse current, IA is almost negligible and is called the
dark current.

• An increase in the amount of light intensity, expressed as irradiance (mW/cm2), produces an


increase in the reverse current, as shown by the graph.

Characteristics curves of phototransistor & bias circuit of phototransistor

Fig: 4.1 characteristic curve and structure of photo transistor

The phototransistor has a light sensitive collector to base junction a lens in a transistor
package to expose base to an incident light. When no light is incident, small leakage current
flows from collector to emitter called(1+β)ICO=ICEO, due to small thermal generation. This is
very small current, of the order of nA. This is called dark current.
When the base is exposed to the light, the base current is produced which is proportional
to the light intensity. Resulting collector current is given by

VR2 and thermistors TM1 and TM2 form a resistive bridge. The VR2 is used to control the
bridge operating in balance. The VR1 is used to control the voltage applied to the bridge. Resistor
R1 is to limit the current flowing in bridge when VR1 at turn low value of resistance.
When the output voltage of the resistive bridge is set to zero, diode D1 and SCR are off so that
LED1 lights. If the resistance of TM1 decreases as the temperature increases, the output voltage
of the bridge increase and reaches 0.6 V to force D1 to conduct. Hence the SCR turns on and
energizes the relay on LED2 lights to indicate temperature over the setting range. To turn off the
SCR push SW once

Similarly, the resistance of TM2 decreases as the temperature increases. The increase of the
bridge output voltage triggers the SCR to conduct. Then LED2 lights to indicate the temperature
too high. Since the output voltage of the bridge is an AC voltage, therefore diode D1 should be
used to protect SCR against a negative pulse applied to the gate.

Procedure:

1. Connect a 12 V AC supply form power supply unit KL-51001, KL- 58002 to module KL-
53008 as show in fig
2. Turn the VR1 fully CCW, measure and record the voltage across VR2 by using the
Multimeter VR2 =______________________ V
3. Using the Multimeter, measure the output voltage of resistive bridge P pole of D1 and
GND side to get 0V by turning VR2. At this instant the resistive bridge operates in balance
4. Insert connect plug in position 1. Connect 12V DC supply from power supply unit module
KL-53008. Observe and record the states of LEDs and relay.
If any accident triggering is caused by touching the connect plug with finger, please push
switch SW once to initialize the operation

______________________________________________________________________________

When the resistive bridge operates in balance, the measured output voltage should be about 0V.
LED1 light on because both SCR and relay are off. When approaching a hot soldering iron to
TM1 or TM2. The bridge loses balance, and the output voltage triggers the SCR on, LED 2 hence
lights on to indicate the temperature too high.

Since the SCR operates in DC voltage, the gate signal cannot control the SCR any more during
the SCR in Conducting. The SW is used to turn the SCR off.

The most elementary form of full-wave phase control is the simple DIAC-TRIAC circuit of
fig when the capacitor voltage reaches the bleak-over voltage VBO, the DIAC turns on and
then turn TRIAC on. Since the values of VBO+ and VBO- are nearly equal, therefore the
triggering angles in positive and negative half cycles are equal as shown in fig 6.1.

Description:
The circuit of fig 6.2 is a lamp dimming control used in this experiment. A brief description

The DIAC is a useful trigger device for TRIAC power control application. If the applied
voltage across two terminals reaches the break-over voltage of DIAC, the DIAC is thus
turned on. In the circuit of fig 6.2 when line voltage is applied the capacitor C1 charges
through R1 and VR1 and builds a sufficient voltage to trigger SCR or TRIAC to switch on.
By adjusting VR1, the conduction angle of SCR or TRIAC can be changed to achieve the
function of lamp dimming circuits.

Similarly, if DIAC is used and C1 charges to reach the break-over voltage of DIAC, DIAC
turns on and triggers SCR or TRIAC to conduct. R2C2 network is used to extend the range
of firing angles. Diode D1 is to protect the SCR gate from the negative triggering pulse.

The CDS is used to perform the function of automatic lamp dimming control. In normal
light level, the trigger potential is set at a low level that cannot trigger DIAC to turn on.
Thus SCR or TRIAC and LP are off. When the light source is blocked, an increase in CDS
resistance causes a sufficient trigger potential to turn the DIAC on. SCR or TRIAC is then
turned on and LP is on.

15. Remove your hand from CDS window then Observe and record the states of lamp,
DIAC and TRIAC.

Note:
You have made an experiment on the automatic lamp dimming control. Single section of RC
Phase shifting control may cause a hysteresis phenomenon. This effect can be eliminated by
adding a RC network in series.
Since SCR conducts only during the positive half cycle of line voltage, the power delivered
to the load is smaller than the TRIAC control circuit. This effect has been demonstrated by
measuring the load voltages and observing the brightness of the lamp by the way. The CDS
light control circuit can be used as a streetlight control circuit.

Discussion:

The Operational Amplifier (O.A.) is the most important and used among the linear
integrated components. The amplifier is the basic building block of most electronic devices.
An amplifier produces an output with more power and more usually voltage.
It is an amplifier characterized by:
1) high gain
2) high input impedance
3) low output impedance
4) Power to amplified signals in continuous too.

An operational amplifier IC has eight pins, with seven having respective functions, the
figure below shows the IC along with the pins.

Fig: 7.1 operational amplifiers IC

The inverting op-amp:


An inverting amplifier using op amp is a type of amplifier using op amp where the output
waveform will be phase opposite to the input waveform. The input waveform will be amplifier
by the factor Av (voltage gain of the amplifier) in magnitude and its phase will be inverted. In
the inverting amplifier circuit the signal to be amplifier is applied to the inverting input of the
op amp through the input resistance R1. Rf is the feedback resistor. Rf and Rin together
determines the gain of the amplifier. Inverting operational amplifier gain can be expressed
using the equation Av= – Rf/R1.

Fig: 7.1 inverting operational amplifier

29 Applied Electronics
Department of Electrical Engineering MUET SZAB Campus Khairpur Mirs

Negative sign implies that the output signal is negated. The circuit diagram of a basic inverting
amplifier using op amp is shown above.
The input and output waveforms of an inverting amplifier using op amp is shown below. The
graph is drawn assuming that the gain (Av) of the amplifier is 2 and the input signal is a sine
wave. It is clear from the graph that the output is twice in magnitude when compared to the
input (Vout = Av x Vin) and phase opposite to the input.

Fig: 7.2 waveforms of an inverting operational amplifier

Practical inverting amplifier using 741


Connect a 741 Op-amp on a bread board, a simple practical inverting amplifier using 741
IC is shown below. 741 is a high performance and of course the most popular operational
amplifier. It can be used in a verity of applications like integrator, differentiator, voltage
follower; amplifier etc. 741 has a wide supply voltage range (+/-22V DC) and has a high open
loop gain. The IC has an integrated compensation network for improving stability and has
short circuit protection.

We will take the values of Rfand Ri according to the above figure and will calculate the gain,
and will make the circuit according to the figure on breadboard and will use oscilloscope to
draw the output wave form. The closed loop gain of the inverting amplifier circuit above is
given -10. We will set Vin to 5rms AC supply and for the pins Vcc and Vee we will give DC
supply of 12 v. Now we will vary the values of Rf and Ri and will calculate the closed loop gain

An ideal differentiator is shown in Figure 10.1. Notice how the placement of the capacitor

resistor is the feedback element. A differentiator produces an output that is proportional to
the rate of change of the input voltage.
Since the current at the inverting input is negligible, IR = IC. Both currents are constant
because the slope of the capacitor voltage (VC/t) is constant. The output voltage is also

Discussion:

The basic idea is illustrated in Figure 11. 1 where a dual—polarity, switched input is used.
This, however, is not practically implemented as such. The corresponding way obtained is
shown in fig 11.2

Fig 11.1: Basic Oscillator


Waveform:

Fig: 11.2 Output wave


When the switch is at position 1, the negative voltage is applied. And the output is a
positive-going ramp. When the switch is thrown into position 2, a negative-going ramp is
produced. If the switch is thrown back and forth at fixed intervals, the output is a triangular
wave consisting of alternating positive-going and negative— going ramps, as shown in
Figure l1.2.
One practical implementation of a triangular-wave oscillator utilizes an op—amp
comparator to perform the switching functions, as shown in Figure 11.3. The operation is as
follows
To begin, assume that the output voltage of the comparator is at its maximum negative level.
This output is connected to the inverting input of the integrator through Rl, producing a
positive—going ramp on the output of the integrator. When the ramp voltage reaches the
upper trigger point (UTP), the comparator switches to its maximum positive level. This
positive level causes the integrator ramp to change to a negative—going direction. The ramp
continues in this direction until the lower trigger point (LTP) of the comparator is reached.
At this point, the comparator output switches back to the maximum negative level and the
cycle repeats.

Circuit:

Fig. 11.4 Oscillator (Ramp Generating) Configuration

The first O.A., Nl, (not reaction and therefore with a very high gain), compares the input
signal (Um) with the output one (U Out) of the second O.A.: it gives to its output (U/ Out) a
voltage limited from the two zeners V1 and V2 set to reaction, whose maximum value,
negative or positive, will be in relationship to the fact that the voltage Um is greater than the

51 Applied Electronics
Department of Electrical Engineering MUET SZAB Campus Khairpur Mirs

output voltage U Out or vice versa. The second O.A., N2, integrates the output signal of the
first O.A. that can be adjusted through the potentiometer R2.
• If U out = Um in Ϸ U Out = O and the output voltage U Out remains constant to the
desired value.
• If Um > U Out Ϸ U out < O: the diode V4 conducts, since it is directly polarized, on
the contrary of the diode V3 that has an inverse polarization.
In the inverting input of the O.A. N2 there is a voltage to integrate, that can be varied by
acting on the potentiometer R2. In this way we can adjust the slope of the increase slope.
• If Uin<UoutϷ Uout> O.
In this case the diode V4 doesn't conduct while the diode V3 conducts; at the input of N2
the voltage U Out is applied and we have in this way a quick decrease of the output voltage.

Discussion:

The 555 timer consists basically of two comparators, a flip-flop, a discharge transistor, and a
resistive voltage divider, as shown in Figure 12.1. The flip-flop (bistable multi vibrator) is a
digital device. Briefly it is a two-state device whose output can be at either a high voltage
level (set, S) or a low voltage level (reset, R).
The state of the output can be changed with proper input signals.

Fig: 12.2 Output wave


The resistive voltage divider is used to set the voltage comparator levels. All three
resistors are of equal value: therefore, the upper comparator has a reference of 2/3VCC, and
the lower comparator has a reference of 1/3VCC. The comparators` outputs control the state
of the flip-flop. When the triggering voltage goes below 1/3VCC, the flip-flop sets, and the
output jumps to its high level. The threshold input is normally connected to an external RC
timing circuit.
When the external capacitor voltage exceeds 2/3\/CC, the upper comparator resets the flip-
flop, which in turn switches the output back to its low level. When the device output is low,
the discharge transistor (Qd,) is turned on and provides a path for rapid discharge of the
external timing capacitor. This basic operation allows the timer to be configured with
external components as an oscillator, a one-shot, or a time-delay element.

The operation of the timer 555 as a stable multi vibrator is obtained by imposing that Us =
Ut= Uc(Fig.12.3.); therefore both the threshold and the trigger voltage depend on the voltage
at the ends of the capacity C external to the 555.
Circuit:
At the beginning let's suppose C unloaded (figure 12.4) Uc

Fig: 12.3 Practical implementation

Fig 12.4 wave forms


We will have therefore U C = 0.
Since in this case both UT and Us are smaller than l/3Vcc (S = l, R = 0, Q = 0), the output (3)
is high and T Off. The capacitor starts loading with time constant tl= ( R1+ R2 ) by tending
to the value +Vcc. When U C = Ut= 2/3Vcc, is activated the threshold input (6), so the output
of the threshold gauge change its state (S = 0, R = l, Q = l) the output (3) is low and T On.
The capacitor starts then discharging with time constant t2 = R2 · C till U C = Ut= l/3Vcc the

Description of Experiment Circuit

Photo-coupler control circuit


Transistor Q1 and photo coupler form the photo coupler controller. Transistor Q3 and Q4
and relay form the control circuit. When DC 5V is applied to the base of Q1, the collector
current of Q1 drives the LED of the photo coupler to light and the phototransistor conducts.
The voltage across R3 drives both Q3 and Q4 to conduct. Thus relay is energized and LED2
lights.

Objective:
 To determine the operation modalities of slop generator realized with an O.A

Equipments:
 Operational Amplifier DL3155M16
 Oscilloscope
 Signal Generator
 Connecting Wire

Discussion:

A ramp is generated by loading a capacitor at a specified speed and then by discharging it


quickly
Circuit:

Fig: 14.1 circuit diagram of ramp generator

The first O.A N1 not reaction and therefore with a very high gain compares the input signal
Uin with the output one Uout of the second O.A it gives to its output Uout a voltage limited
from the two Zener’s V1 and V2 set to reaction whose maximum value negative or positive
will be in relationship to the fact that the voltage Uin is greater than the output voltage
Uoutor vice versa
The second O.A N2integrates the output signal of the first O.A that can be adjusted through
the potentiometer R2. If Uout = UinUout= 0 and the output voltage Uout remains constant to
the desired value.
63 Applied Electronics
Department of Electrical Engineering MUET SZAB Campus Khairpur Mirs

If Uin>UoutUout< 0 the diode V4 conducts since it is directly polarized on the contrary of the
diode V3 that has an inverse polarization
In the inverting input of the O.A N2 there is a voltage to integrate that can be varied by
acting on the potentiometer R2In this way we can adjust the slope of the increase slope
If Uin<UoutUout> 0
In this case the diode V4 doesn’t conduct while the diode V3 conducts at the input of N2 the
voltage Uout is applied and we have in this way a quick decrease of the output voltage.

Discussion:

By marking with IE, IB, IC respectively the emitter, base and collector currents according to the scheme of
fig we have in accordance with first Kirchhoff principle

NPN PNP
Fig: 16.1 transistor configurations

In an NPN transistor is active region the current the current IE according to the conversion that have been
done will result positive because an electron motion (negative charges) from the emitter towards the base
corresponds to a positive current from the base towards the emitter; since we assumed for IE a conventional
direction going out from E we have IE> 0 besides IC and IB result positive too.

Obviously in a PNP transistor in active region the signs of the currents are changed fig

70 Applied Electronics
Department of Electrical Engineering MUET SZAB Campus Khairpur Mirs

The currents flowing in an NPN transistor in active region are schematically represented in fig where the
most marked arrow indicates the current having a greater intensity (the one bond to the motion of electrons
from the emitter towards the collector)that has been indicated with InC and InB respectively in the collector
and emitter regionsInE - InC is the current that flows in the base for effect of the recombination of the
electrons with the holes of the base itself Besides IpE indicates the weak current associated to the motion of
the holes from the base towards the emitter and IOindicates the current, very weak too, associated to the
motion of the holes from the collector towards the base (the inverse current of the B-C junction)The
collector current can be therefore expressed asIC = I0= a.IEi.e as the sum of the inverse current relative to the
B-C junction and the current of free electron that from the emitter reaches the collectorThe parameter a
considers the fact that has been already observed that not all electrons emitted from the emitter reach the
collector because of the recombination phenomenon (without recombination we would have a = 1)
generally the value of a are included between 0.95 and 0.99

By using the first Kirchhoff principle it is possible to calculate the current IC as a function of the current IB
as a matter of fact we have

Introducing the parameter b defined as

We obtain
IC= (β+1) -Io + β-IB
In the silicon transistor Io is of the order of the nA since b assumes values that are generally
Included between 20 and 200 the term (β+1) -Iois lower than mA and it is therefore generally neglect-able.
We obtain therefore:

Ic = β (-IB)
β = - IC/IB

β results being the ratio between the collector current and the base one, normally indicated in the datasheets
as hFEin the cutoff region the E-B and B-C junctions are both directly polarizedIn this situation an
increasing of the base current do not determine appreciable changes in the collector current because the
electrons injected from the emitter towards the base are hindered in their motion towards the collector by a
barrier of negative potential. The potential difference between collector and emitter results of the order of
few tenth of Volts while the potential difference between base and emitter is equal to about 0.7 volt for the
silicon transistor and about 0.2 for the germanium ones the transistor corresponds in practice to a short
circuit and the relationship
IC =hFE -IB is not valid an longerWhen finally both the junctions are inversely polarized the transistor is
called in cutoff.
In this situation IE = 0 and therefore IC =-IB =I0 that for the silicon transistor has substantially neglectable
values the transistor corresponds therefore to an open circuit
