Experiment-8 L-C Components and Frequency Response of Resistors AIM:To learn how to measure the impedance of an element using a

current-sensing resistor. Compare the measured values with the nameplate value of an inductor and capacitor. At last verify that the resistance of a resistor is independent of the frequency of the frequencies in the audio range. METHOD: In this experiment we use DMM, Oscilloscope, Audio Oscillator, resistors of resistances 100 ohms and 1kohms,capacitors of capacitance 0.47 and 1 microfarade and inductors of 10mH. In part one of section1 we work with a capacitor to measure their reactance .to do so we built the following circuit:

We set the voltage of the circuit to 4V and then with the help of oscilloscope we calculated the rms values the voltage Vr with DMM.

After calculating rms value of Vr we calculated peak to peak voltage and current of Rs. Using these we calculated Xc which is capacitive

reactants of the capacitor.After that we used the nameplate values to calculate the the reactance of capacitor which came out to be about same as the measure values. In second part of section2 we connected 0.47micro farade capacitor in parallel to our other capacitor and again followed the same procedure as above to calculate the reactance of capacitor using measured values and using nameplate values and compare them both to see any discrepancies. In section2 we work with an inductor to calculate the inductive reactance of the inductor. To do so we construct the network as below:

The internal resistance of the coil is to be ignored in this experiment. We set the voltage V and measure the rms value of voltage Vr with DMM. After measuring the rms value we calculate peak to peak value and current throught the inductor. With the measure voltage

and current we now calculate the inductive reactance of inductor X. Then we again use name plate values to calculate X and compare the measure and calculated values with each other.

In the second part of section 2 we included a second coil of the same magnitude in series with the original coil and 1V was established across the two series coils.then we calculated the total inductance , total reactance ,peak to peak current and peak to peak voltage across Rs. In section 3 we observe the effect of frequency on the resistance of a resistor. we constructed the following circuit :

After constructing the circuit we set the voltage Vr acrossthe 1Kohm resistor to 4V(p-p) using oscilloscope.Then we change the

frequencies at different intervals and measured the rms level of current using DMM. In section 4 we use multisim to measure and record the peak to peak voltage across the inductor and the capacitor in each case for a range of frequencies around the calculated values for the following circuits:

The Experiment:

Conclusion: In section1 we conclude that the conductive reactance was almost same when we calculated it through the name plate vales and by measuring the voltage and current and then calculating it. We did this for both the a single capacitor and the capacitors in series. In section 2 we concluded that the inductance of an inductor was almost same when we calculated it through the name plate vales and by measuring the voltage and current and then calculating it. We did the same thing for a single inductor and inductor in series. In section 3 we learnt the effect of frequency on the resistor that its resistance is unaffected by the frequency except at high frequencies.this rule is also true for the total resistance of the resistors in series or in parallel. In section 4 we use multisim to check our results which came out to be exactly same as calculated values.
