UNIT 2
MODULE 2: A C THEORY AND ELECTRONICS (cont’d)

Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities (cont’d)

7. Ask students to measure the bandwidth of an operational amplifier circuit and determine the
effect of negative feedback on bandwidth using an oscilloscope.

8. Encourage students to construct simple amplifier circuits and investigate their response to
different signals.

9. Allow students to investigate operational amplifier circuits, which use various input and
output transducers.

10. Ask students to design and construct digital circuits using logic gates to perform functions such
as alarms and door locks.

11. Engage students in the construction and testing of flip-flop circuits using logic gates to switch
devices on and off in a controlled fashion.
