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
