Discussion In the experiment AC circuits‚ the purpose was to see the effect that a capacitor‚ resistor‚ and inductor have on the voltage‚ and current of a circuit. We created circuits with 2 resistors‚ a capacitor and a resistor‚ and then a capacitor‚ resistor‚ and an inductor. The circuits were then hooked up to a function generator‚ and oscilloscope to find the voltage across certain frequencies and then calculate the peak current‚ capacitive reactance or the inductive reactance‚ and phase difference

CIRCUITS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT 3 AC Circuit Analysis 3.1 Introduction The steady-state behavior of circuits energized by sinusoidal sources is an important area of study for several reasons. First‚ the generation‚ transmission‚ distribution‚ and consumption of electric energy occur under essentially sinusoidal steady-state conditions. Second‚ an understanding of sinusoidal behavior makes possible the prediction of circuit behavior when nonsinusoidal sources are used through the use of techniques

Ohm’s Law is V = I * R or in some cases I = V / R. The next two laws were established by a German physicist by the name of Gustav Kirchhoff. Kirchhoff’s first law is his voltage law. Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) states that around any loop in a circuit‚ the voltage rises must equal the voltage drops. The next law that Kirchhoff introduced was his current law. Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) states that the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction. These laws

PHY 156 4870 Lab Report #6: RC Circuits October 14th‚ 2011 Objectives: The purpose of this lab is to observe the charge and discharge curves of a capacitor and determine its time constant. The capacitor is observed with respect to the voltage traveling through the capacitor. Principles: One of the main principles of this experiment is defined by V = VB [1 – exp (-t/RC)] for a charging capacitor and furthermore‚ τ is defined by resistance multiplied by capacitance(R * C). Thus

Superposition theorem is a way to determine currents and voltages in a linear circuit that has multiple sources by taking one source at a time. the current in any given branch of a multiple-source linear circuit can be found by determining the currents in that particular branch produced by each source acting alone‚ with all other sources

As well as the introduction to the voltage division. The Ohm’s Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points (V = IR). The Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law states that the directed sum of the electrical voltage

Experiment 5: RC Circuits Abstract The purpose of this lab is to learn and understand RC Circuits. An RC circuit is composed of at least one resistor and at least one capacitor. A capacitor is composed of two plates with either air or an insulator also known as a dielectric between the plates. We do not want the plates to be touching‚ because then we would only have a conductor. The insulator between the plates is also known as the dialectic‚ which affect how the capacitor will store
