Objective:
 The objective of this experiment is to measure motor velocity
through the frequency(Hz).

Method:
 The function generator will alter the speed of the fan moving and the
optocoupler sensor will read the speed difference (every 2 turns is 1
point) and will be shown in the oscilloscope.
Results:

 In this experiment, the lower the frequency (Hz) was adjusted in the
function generator, the slower the fan spun (velocity decreased).
Components:

 Transistor
-Emitter (on the left)
-based in the positive node
-collector connected to the motor
 Resistor (4.7 kΩ)
 Function Generator (wave gen.)
 Oscilloscope
 Resistor (15kΩ) under the oscilloscope
 Resistor (220Ω)
 Diode (optocoupler)
-Positive onto the resistor (220Ω)
-Negative into the negative (ground pin)
 Motor with a fan attached onto the shaft.
