AC Circuits Study Module
The AC Circuits Study Module (301-12) allows for practical investigation of AC waveforms, Capacitive Inductance, RC circuits, RL Circuits, RLC Circuits, and transformer principles.
Typical activities include:
- Measure the frequency and period of sinusoidal waveforms
- Measure the voltages across series resistors connected to an AC supply
- Determine phase shift for a capacitor
- Measure and calculate inductive reactance
- Determine impedance and phase angle for a series RC circuit
- Determine by measurement or calculation currents in parallel RL circuits
- Recognize the factors that determine the resonant frequency of a series LC circuit
- Recognize the factors that determine the corner frequency (cut off frequency) of an RC filter
- Diagnose faults in a transformer
