The Infinite Finite Grid

April 29, 2022 Hosted by Parker Dillmann, Stephen Kraig

Stephen and Parker continue the discussion of the voltage measurement. Can you come up with a way to measure voltage without precision tools?

**PART 2 : Is there a macgyver way to measure voltage without a multimeter?
**

  • Lots of great suggestions in our slack channel
    • Recreating older devices before digital multimeters where available 
    • Galvanometer
    • Electrostatic Voltmeter
    • Most of these require lots of experimentation or other precision devices to calibrate
  • Let’s explore the electrolysis method further
    • Tools and measuring devices required
      • Watch / time keeping
      • Container of known volume
    • Materials
      • Distilled Water
    • Equations from Purdue
    • Amps & Time <-> Coulombs <-> Faradays <-> Moles of Electrons

Interesting EE homework question

  • Calculating actual component resistance by in circuit resistance measurements
