Lab $11.$ AC Circuit Analysis

Objectives

Apply techniques utilized in the determination of AC circuit analysis.

Introduction

In the past lab exercises students have learned how to determine voltage, current, and

power in AC circuits by following step$-$by$-$step procedures. In this lab, students are

presented with a more realistic problem in which they must determine the procedure to

follow using the techniques acquired in the past labs.

Procedure

Given the circuit below, determine the time expressions for voltage and current at each one

of the elements, and demonstrate that the power absorbed$/$stored by the circuit is equal to

the power supplied. Determine the power factor of the circuit. Use similar component

values if there are no components available with the values provided.

Document your procedure. Consider the effect of the internal resistance of the inductor.

Use sensing resistors as needed. Use tables to consolidate your data. Confirm your results

through calculations and simulations.. THIS WILL BE THE PRELAB
