Lab 5 dealt with the use of the electronic power supply and how to safely use it to power circuits. The lab ran through the use of AC and DC power as well as how to adjust the voltage. This is important because if you don't understand how to use the power supply, you can get incorrect measurements or burn out your components when the voltage is left unregulated. It is also important not to touch the leads of the power supply together because they will spark.
