In this prelab, we will focus on the concepts of open circuit and short circuit.
Open circuit and close circuit are two important concepts in electronics because they allow us to make or break connections. However, if close circuit happens in an undesigned place, it is called short circuit and can cause serious problems in your circuit. If open circuit happens in an undesired place, it can change the property of the circuit, too.
The following video introduces these basic concepts.
This video emphasizes more on the effect of short circuit.
Now you can work on the quiz on Blackboard. In your lab session, we will create short and open circuit on breadboard and measure the effect.
