Experiment 48: Monitoring Power Supply Noise

Objective: Measure and analyze noise in power supply outputs.

Steps:

  1. Set up a power supply with a known load (e.g., resistors or a small motor).
  2. Use an oscilloscope to observe ripple and noise in the voltage output.
  3. Introduce filtering components (capacitors, inductors) to reduce noise and re-test.

Expected Outcome:

Understand the sources of noise in power supplies and methods to suppress them.
