Title: Lab 10-5: DC Push Button in Series With 2 LEDs - 2 Hour
Course: Basic Electrical Theory and Wiring (Sandbox) > Section: Module 10: Series Circuits

Introduction

This is our final series lab, so make sure to use everything you have learned up to now in order to complete this lab.

Instructions

Watch the example lab video, and then perform the lab.

1. Follow the guidelines on the Lab Expectations page.
2. Print off the drawing template found at the start of this module. (If you cannot print the drawing, draw the template on a piece of paper.)
3. Write your initials in the "Drawn By:" section of the template drawing.
4. Write the date in the "Date:" section of the template drawing.
5. Write the lab number in the "Drawing #" section of the template drawing.
6. Write the title of the lab in the title section of the template drawing.
7. Legibly draw up the following schematic using the drawing template and drawing legend. (Note: Refer to AMAR-1200-01 - AC Amps Measurement.pdf and AMAR-1200-02 - DC Amps Measurement.pdf found in previous modules for examples on how to properly draw a schematic.)
8. Draw DC power supply.
9. Draw a push button in series with the 1 KΩ resistor and then in series with the red LED in series with another red LED.
10. Label all wires with the appropriate color.
11. Wire up the circuit per your drawing.
12. Show that the circuit works.
13. Measure the voltage in LED 1 and then in LED 2.
14. Measure the voltage across LED 1 and LED 2.
15. Answer: Which switch is a push button similar to a 2-way switch, a 3-way switch, or a 4-way switch?
