5F 15.25 - Bird on a Wire:
Demonstrates: Potential difference on a powerline. Description: A "bird" is molded with gun-cotton and "perched" on a nichrome wire. When the two aluminum sections touch both a hot wire and the ground top wire, poof, the bird disappears. |

5F 20.50 - Series and Paralles Circuits (Lamp Demo):
Demonstrates: Series and parallel circuits. Description: Three 40 W and one 150 W bulbs are used to show different circuits. |
 |
5F 30.20 - Breadboard:
Demonstrates: Series and parallel circuits. Description: The big circuit board, power source and oscilloscope are used to make circuits. |
 |
5F 30.30 - Big Circuit Board:
Demonstrates: Combinations of R, C and L circuits. Description: By using the plug-ins and wires several different types of circuits can be created with the "physicist's Lego set." About ten different experiments can be done with the big board. |

5F 30.35 - R C Circuit:
Demonstrates: Combinations of R and C circuits. Description: The Tektronics 2445 is used to display the charge and discharge time of the capacitor along with the voltage across the resistor. |
 |
5F 30.40 - Battery and Bulb:
Demonstrates: Series and parallel circuits. Description: A simple set up of two batteries in a holder with two alligator clip leads and bulbs. |
