Impedance and AC Analysis I

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to observe and analyze how an inductor works.

Here is the circuit

Here we are doing calculations and setting up the DMM

Here is a reading that we got

More calculations

Using the oscilloscope and seeing what happens

An overview

We played with the function generator and this is what we got

Freemat with complex number

Introduction: The purpose of the experiment is to use complex numbers with FreeMat

Procedure: 
Part 1)

 

Part 2)

Second Order Circuit Tutorial

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to study and practice second order circuits using an online tutorial.

Oscilloscope 101

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to learn how to use and anaylze an oscilloscope.

Procedure: 

Setting up the function generator to the the oscilloscope

Here we are tinkering with the settings to get familiar with the O.S.

A nice sinusoidal wave on the O.S.

Playing with the settings on the function generator

Playing with different types of waves

Capacitor Charging/Discharging

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to play with capacitors to charge and discharge along with figuring out time constants for capacitors.

Procedure:

First we calculated the capacitance using the given information

From the capacitance we can figure out the resistance using Tao=RC

Here we are building the circuit in the lab manual

Here is Sunny Lee clipping some wires together

Connecting the wires to the breadboard

Here we are about to record some data using the DMM

Getting the logger pro ready to use for the next part

I just installed logger pro on my laptop, sweeeet!

Our beautiful graph, just as expected the discharging was much faster than charging

We are done!
