Week 09 - Output devices

Group assignment:

  • measure the power consumption of an output device

Fan

For group assignment, I’ve tested Power consumption of a fan, I set Voltage at 12V as stated on the device. I added current progressively and the fan started to turn at 0.231 A and then the current drop under 0.170 A.

I lowered the current after that and the fan still turns but much slower.

I also tested augmenting the Voltage up to 13 V and it’s making the fan turning faster.
