Useful References for Lab

• Information about batteries. References adapted from "The Art of Electronics" (Horwitz) and put on George Watson's web page.
• Battery Capacity
• Battery Types
• Do not use the Duracell web page to determine battery capacities. The Duracell battery web page assumes that a given battery is still functional until its potential difference drops to 0.8 Volts. Considering that the initial potential difference of these batteries is 1.5V, a drop to 0.8 Volts is too low for our purposes.
  
  
• A nice web page which shows the resistor color coding scheme.
