Recently, we conducted an experiment to explore the relationship between the current of a photoresistor and light intensity. The photoresistor and a voltage divider resistor were connected in series, powered by the 5V output of the ESP32. We used pin IO33 to collect the voltage across the voltage divider resistor and calculated the current through … Read more
Recently, while studying the relationship between the resistance of a thermistor and temperature using Phyphox and ESP32 Bluetooth, the author needed to plot the relationship between the thermistor resistance and time. By pinching or releasing the thermistor, they observed changes in the resistance-time graph, thus understanding the effect of temperature on the thermistor. The thermistor … Read more
Experiment Scenario 1 Introduction Recently, I have been deeply studying the “Do It Yourself” experiments in the new textbook on “Electromagnetic Induction” to explore the relationship between the drop height of a magnet and the maximum induced current in a coil. The first time I used the maximum reading of a DC ammeter to represent … Read more
