\nThe story describes an experiment performed by a student in the electrical lab and the\u00a0joy and learning associated with it. I tried to personify the electrical lab and tried to\u00a0convey the story using it as a person. There is no intention to target or offend any\u00a0specific group of people through this personification, and any resemblance to any group\u00a0or individuals is purely coincidental. It is the first time I am using the lab as a person;\u00a0thus, many terms relate it to a human form and form relations. The words are not\u00a0intended to hurt anyone and do not reflect the opinions or beliefs of any real-world\u00a0entity. The use of siblings and relatives describes other such labs in different areas. The\u00a0story’s depiction provides readers with the lab\u2019s perspective and the experience related\u00a0to the events that happen there. I took all the pictures; the story is my experiment.\u00a0Please enjoy the story from the lab\u2019s perspective and appreciate it as a creative\u00a0expression.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello guys, let me introduce myself. I am the Electrical Lab<\/strong> at IIT Gandhinagar. I have\u00a0many electrical machines and equipment inside me. Many people come everyday to\u00a0conduct experiments, explore and learn. Every engineering college or any college or\u00a0organisation that has an electrical department has a lab and my siblings or relatives\u00a0would be present there. I have seen many generations of you as I will always be here\u00a0with some modifications. Today, I am here to familiarise you with and get to know me\u00a0and the stories I experience. I will also be eagerly waiting for you to play with me\u00a0someday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As mentioned by me, I have certain machines and equipment inside me that help the\u00a0student and lab staff in their experiments. As you can see in the above picture, there are\u00a0chairs, computers, DSO(Digital Signal Oscilloscope), DC power supply, function\u00a0generator, breadboards, wires, cables, capacitors, resistors, and certain other things.\u00a0The lights help the people to even work at night. However, for your safety, you must\u00a0wear the lab attire and follow the lab protocols. I have different sections labelled for\u00a0different electrical accessories. Let me guide you through some of the accessories and\u00a0tools for you to understand me and my experiences better.<\/p>\n

This is a section located at the entrance.\u00a0The block here contains resistors,\u00a0capacitors, rheostats, amplifiers, switches,\u00a0speakers, etc. in different boxes as per\u00a0their values and features. There are\u00a0certain similar sections here for the\u00a0designated things. Everything is labelled
\nand thus, it is easy for you to navigate and\u00a0search for the required things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a DSO, Digital Signal Oscilloscope.\u00a0It is used to display various waveforms and helps\u00a0in analysis and draw conclusions from the plot. It
\nhas certain channels to display multiple\u00a0waveforms. You have to connect the probe in the\u00a0DSO to the points of the output. You can set the
\nposition, scale of the waveforms and calculate the\u00a0features such as frequency, average, amplitude,\u00a0duty ratio, etc. of the waves.You can also save\u00a0your waveforms in a pendrive. In a nutshell, this\u00a0device displays all the information about the\u00a0waveforms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a function generator that helps to\u00a0generate different functions used for our input\u00a0such as sine wave, square wave, triangular
\nwave, etc.. There are two channels in this\u00a0device and thus, you can take two different\u00a0waveforms from here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This a DC apply device, where you can provide\u00a0a DC supply from 0-30 V, both positive and\u00a0negative. Below the device, you can see a
\nthree-phase AC supply. The supply rms value is\u00a0415 V and thus, there is a danger sign as it is a\u00a0high voltage line and you have to be cautious
\nwhile using it. Although, all safety is ensured\u00a0beforehand through MCBs and other things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I offer students and lab staff the place and resources to perform their experiments. They\u00a0explore, learn and develop many things and each experiment is associated with me as I\u00a0am a part of all those experiments. There are certain failed experiments too, however,\u00a0failures also teach them many things and motivate them to try out certain different\u00a0things. Many inventions that you see today were someday a part of the experiment that\u00a0was related to me or my siblings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, 18th of March, 2023, a student came to me and he tried an experiment on building a toy\u00a0organ to generate different frequencies. He was present here for almost two hours. He first\u00a0researched the tools required for the experiment and the steps to perform those. I was carefully\u00a0observing him and his curiosity to learn and explore makes me very happy. Many such people\u00a0bring me happiness as they play with me and try out new things. He then collected all the\u00a0necessary things from me and started doing the experiment. The above picture shows some\u00a0connections done on the breadboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the above picture, you can see the final circuit on the breadboard connected with a\u00a0speaker. He was successfully able to complete the experiment and made a toy organ\u00a0with eight different frequencies. He was highly excited to get the results and I am glad to\u00a0be part of this story. He demonstrated the project to his friends and was very happy.\u00a0Many such stories are associated with me and I am highly grateful to be a part of all\u00a0those stories where I see successes, failures, motivation, hard work, repeated trials and\u00a0new inventions.<\/p>\n

This is me and my whole life experience consists of millions of such stories of experiments and trials over many years. I am still present here and eager to experience\u00a0more stories. I hope one day you too come and make me a part of your story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
