Question: 1 . Set R 2 = 3 . 3 k . Do a calculation to show that this corresponds to the circuit being overdamped. Then

1. Set R2=3.3 k. Do a calculation to show that this corresponds to the circuit being overdamped. Then observe the source voltage and the capacitor voltage together on the oscilloscope. Record a set of traces for your report. Use the cursors to measure the 10%-90% rise and fall times. 2. Now set R2=0(i.e. remove it). Do a calculation to show that this corresponds to the circuit being underdamped. Calculate the expected oscillation frequency. Then observe the source voltage and the capacitor voltage together on the oscilloscope. Use the cursors to measure the frequency of the ringing oscillation. Record a set of traces for your report. Compare the measured frequency to your calculated value. (Note that the inductors have about 100 of parasitic resistance in the coil.)
