Principle
A diode allows current to pass only in one direction and blocks it in the other. In an AC circuit, current can flow through a diode only during a half-wave.
Benefits
- Particularly comprehensible and didactically prepared description of the experiment (reference to everyday life, etc.) incl. protocol questions.
- Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.
- Increased motivation among students through use of the intuitive measureAPP.
- Increased media literacy.
- No additional cable connections between the modules necessary - clearer and faster set-up.
- contact safety due to puzzle-like interlocking building blocks.
- Hard gold-plated, corrosion-resistant contacts
- Double learning success: electrical circuit diagram visible on the upper side and real components on the lower side
Tasks
Investigate the effect of a diode in a direct and an alternating current circuit.
Learning Objectives
Students should learn about the rectifier effect of a diode.
