Series and Parallel RC Circuits
Analysis:
1. For Laboratory Application Assignment on pg. 555 examine Fig. 18-37.
2. Perform the following calculations:
o Xc
o Z1
o I
o Vc
o Vr
o thetaZ
3. Examine Fig. 18-38a and perform the following calculations:
o Xc
o Ic
o Ir
o It
o Zeq
o theta1
4. Scan all calculations showing all work in a file called “Lab3_Analysis_StudentID”.
5. Upload file “Lab3_Analysis_StudentID”
Simulation:
1. Construct the circuit in Fig. 18-37 with MultiSIM.
2. Measure the following values with a DMM:
o I
o Vc
o Vr
o Vt – requires a calculation
o Xc – requires a calculation
o thetaZ – requires a calculation
o Do not construct phasor voltage triangle. Disregard instructions to measure phase angle with the oscilloscope.
3. Capture a screenshot of measured values and paste into a Word document entitled “Lab3_Simulation_StudentID”
