Described is a LOGO computer program that enables students to investigate the relationship between a digital number and the resistance in a variable resistor used to generate that number. Likewise, actual temperature readings and the corresponding resistance within a thermistor can be used for data gathering and subsequent analysis. (JJK)

Describes a simulation done by students in a Year 4 undergraduate physics laboratory course on pulse technology. The course objective was to provide students with experience in computation pulsed electrical circuits and in comparing the computation with experiments. Results showed that the microcomputer simulated experiments made for a more…
