Electronics System 2

Code: 4868.29

An advanced electronics system for circuit projects, analysis and circuit testing

Electronics System 2 consists of a set of components mounted in handy to use plug-in “blocks” with two or four plug sockets.

Together with our Electronics System 1, you can perform many advanced experiments. The system allows the student to quickly setup and assemble circuits by simply plugging each electrical circuit “blocks” into the lab circuit board. Using our System 2 upgrade, you take students from the basic properties of transistors right through to practical applications of electronic amplifiers.

How to design a basic amplifier.

With Electronics System 2 it is possible to design a basic audio amplifier. This is a simple circuit that will boost the input audio signal then generating an output signal by means of a speaker.
The circuit is composed of two transistors, one being the driver, the other being the power transistor. The input audio signal, generated by a microphone, is boosted by the circuit and is picked up at the output by means of a speaker. The circuit provides the student with a good way to observe the practical behaviour of an amplifier.
