1 Electric Circuit Lab Assignments elcirc_lab87.fm - 1 AC Circuit Analysis and Measurement Lab Assignment 8 Introduction When analyzing an electric circuit that contains reactive components, inductors and capacitors, and AC electrical energy sources, the voltages, currents and branch impedances are preferably treated in phasor domain (as opposed to time domain) as complex quantities. While performing the calculations requested in this Lab assignment, it should be remembered that impedance Z can be expressed as the sum of real a part R, the resistance, and an imaginary part X, the reactance. Likewise, admittance Y can be expressed as the complex sum of a real part G, the conductance, and an imaginary part B, the susceptance. Accordingly, the impedance and addmitance expressions in cartesian, polar and exponential forms are given below: Reminders on forms for representation of complex numbers Cartesian form: Exponential form Polar form Z = R + jx Z = Z e jθ where Z = R 2 +X 2 θ = arctg X R Z = R 2 +X 2 θ Y = G + jb Y = Y e -jθ where Y = G 2 +B 2 Y = G 2 +B 2 θ θ = arctg B G Comment: Algebraic expressions of these three forms of representattion clearly indicate which ones provide easier work when performing algebraic manipulation: (a) Cartesian form for addition and subtraction operations, (b) Exponential form for multiplication and division operations. An inductor s impedance: Z L = R L + jx L, where X L = ωl A capacitor s impedance: Z C = R C + jx c, where X C = -1 ωc Ordinary AC voltmeters and ampmeters measure only the magnitudes of voltage and current. Phase relationships can be measured with specialized instruments which are not commonly found in general purpose labs. The one exception to this is the wattmeter, which makes both voltage and current connections to the circuit under test. Because both the voltage and current signals are available to the wattmeter, it can sense the phase angle difference between these two signals. Two AC circuits will be analyzed in this Lab assignment. The first, a parallel RLC circuit, will be used to verify Kirchhoff s current law for AC, and the second, a series RLC circuit will be used to verify Kirchhoff's voltage law for AC. The series circuit will be analyzed over a range of frequencies to show the frequency dependence of reactances.

Enter into Table 4 the percentage error of the calculated with respect to the measured current values. By the Kirchhoff s Current Law, the algebraic sum of currents flowing out of (or into) a node of an electric circuit is equal to zero. But due to calculation s round off errors, the algebraic sum of calculated values of the currents flowing out of the top node in the experiment will have the value that is just close enough to zero.

By the Kirchhoff s Voltage Law, the algebraic sum of voltage rises (or drops) in a loop of an electric circuit is equal to zero. But due to calculation s round off errors, the algebraic sum of calculated values of the voltages in the experiment will have the value that is just close enough to zero.
