Sample Report
Objective
The next part of the report is the Objective. It should contain the purpose of doing the experiment in a line or two.
Procedure
The method of investigation, or Procedure, is next. This section contains the circuit diagrams along with a general description of the procedure. This description should be comprehensive, but not overly verbose. For experiments where the procedure is given in the laboratory manual, do not copy the lab manual word for word, but rather express the procedure in your own words and in past tense as you did the experiment in the lab. All essential steps in the experiment should be listed, with special attention paid to those that are complex or require extra attention. Circuit diagrams should be fitted into the description of the procedure where they best help to clarify it. The circuit diagrams should show all switches, circuit breakers, instruments, rheostats, load resistors, and all other apparatus that is necessary for the test. Magnitudes of the voltages and the type (DC or AC) that are applied to the test circuits should be indicated, as should all known component types and values. Each diagram should have a figure number for reference purposes.
