Function generator

Record the exact measured value for Ri here. Ri:
Set the function generator to output a square wave varying from 0 to +5 V with a 50% duty cycle at 1 Hz. You will need to add a DC offset to obtain this square wave. Ask your TA for help if you do not know how to do this. Measure the output of the function generator with the oscilloscope and verify that it is correct (use DC coupling on the oscilloscope).
With the output of the function generator off, connect it to the MOSFET. Turn on the function generator output and measure the output of the function generator and the voltage across the MOSFET (Vps) when the switch is open and closed. Both measurements will use DC coupling.
