Week 4 notes of Physics 3LB lab at University of California, Irvine. Notes are based on the course's lab manual and are intended to help you understand the theory of "Joule Heating and Newton's Law of Cooling."
(thermocouple). Analogous signal from transducer is converted into digital
signal w/ monitor.
• Newton's Law of Cooling: temp decays exponentially over time.
• In this expt, we use a microcomputer as a transient digitizer and plot temp as a
function of time.
○ Transient digitizer: device that samples the voltage at regular time
intervals and stores that info.
○ Transducer converts temp (specifically changes its resistance to a
function of temp)into voltage -> PC plots said voltage.
