Description
Grade 11–College. The Carolina® Electronics System 1 Kit comes with 18 components, including a circuit board and all the diodes and transistors needed to investigate core concepts in introductory semiconductor electronics. Kit has enough material for 1 group of 2 to 4 students to perform the activities. Kit components come in a metal ballistics case with high-density foam inserts for easy storage and long life. Several of the parts needed but not included in this kit may be found in the Carolina® Electricity System 1 Physics Kit (item #751167, purchased separately) and the Carolina® Electronics System 2 Physics Kit (item #751164, purchased separately).
With this kit students can explore common experiments such as The Half-Wave Rectifier, Measuring Gain with a Power Transistor, The Infrared Diode and Phototransistor, and The Unijunction Transistor. The included experiment guide covers 12 activities:
- The Forward Bias Diode
- The Half-Wave Rectifier
- The Zener Diode
- The Transistor as a Switch
- Measuring Gain with a PNP Power Transistor
- The Infrared Diode and Phototransistor
- The Light Dependent Resistor
- Temperature Dependent Resistors
- The Silicon Controlled Rectifier
- The TRIAC
- The Unijunction Transistor
