College / Physics
The phase differences between the output voltage, the voltage across the inductor, the voltage across the capacitor, and the voltage across the resistor will be examined at resonant frequency, and the half-power frequencies above...
College / Physics
The current through a series LRC circuit is examined as a function of applied frequency and the effects of changing the values of the resistance, inductance, and capacitance are observed. The phase difference between the applied...
College / Physics
Verify the laws for a resistive circuit using a DC input and for a time varying RC circuit. The DC portion and the RC portion of the lab are each stand-alone labs.
College / Physics
For a capacitor discharging through a resistor, the half-life for the decay is measured directly and also calculated using the capacitive time constant.
