Pre-requests

Before students engage in practical work, it's important they have a foundational understanding of relevant concepts. Here are pre-requests or prior knowledge requirements:

  • Basic understanding of electricity and circuits: Students should be familiar with the fundamentals of electric circuits, including concepts such as voltage, current, resistance, and Ohm's law.

  • Knowledge of capacitors: Students should have a basic understanding of capacitors, including their construction, capacitance, and behavior in circuits.

  • Understanding of RC circuits: Students should comprehend the behavior of RC (resistor-capacitor) circuits, particularly in relation to charging and discharging processes.

  • Basic understanding of electronic signals: Students should be familiar with the basics of electronic signals, including the concepts of voltage, frequency, period, and amplitude.

  • Knowledge of oscilloscope operation: Students should have a basic understanding of how an oscilloscope works, including its various controls, probe usage, and the display of waveforms.

  • Understanding of waveform characteristics: Students should comprehend different waveform characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, period, and phase, and how these are represented on an oscilloscope.
