Principle
It can be assumed that the students know about the valve action of a diode and also have a knowledge of the basic properties of alternating currents (constant change in magnitude and periodical change in the direction of the current). They can therefore predict the essentials of the action a diode will have in an alternating circuit.
Benefits
- No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arragned and quick setup
- Contact saftey due to puzzle blocks system
- Corrosion-free gold plated contacts
- Doubled earning sucess: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components can be seen unterside
Tasks
