Lesson 9.7 • Competency 9.4Interactive Simulation

Interactive Electronics & Op-Amp Simulation Lab

Multi-mode real-time laboratory simulator: Mode 1 Diode bridge rectifier with interactive capacitor filter and oscilloscope; Mode 2 Inverting/Non-inverting Op-Amp circuit simulator with real-time saturation clipping.

Marking a lesson complete represents finishing your study of the topic; it does not denote tested mastery.

Learning Objectives

Visualize diode bridge rectification and test how varying filter capacitance C alters output ripple voltage V_r in real time.
Investigate Op-Amp inverting and non-inverting closed-loop gains by adjusting feedback resistors and observe rail saturation clipping.
