AC Circuit-LRC Day

This is the impedance equation for circuits that has all the bells and whistles. It has factors for resistors, inductors, and capacitors.

These are some of the equations that were used to calculate different aspects of the entire work.

The main equation is Z= Sqrt(R^2*(XL-XC)^2). Its a very simple equation that gets simpler when you take some of the aspects out

This is what we are suppose to fine with the experiential at we are about to do. We already have the frequency and the resistor. We have Z(theoretical)

This is the results we got after connecting everything together. It was a very simple processes

And we were able to find everything with less then a 25 percent error for both the cases. We did run into a little calculation snafu when we disagree how we should proceed with things.

AC circuit-RC Day

This is the part of the hand out we will be going over today.

This is a beautiful graph of what the Voltage vs Time and Current vs Time. Also the third graph is Voltage vs Current. Again this looks beautiful.

This is the setup for the lab we did this day. We are only using the capacitor and the resistor so its a RC circuit. 

Here is the equation we use to calculate the Irms of the graph. We also used the values from the graph to verify what we got.

EMF

This day was a subset of what we did in the previous day which was magnetic fields. We used ActivPhysics to answer 13 questions. That answers are on the board, but it doesn't really explain anything unless you have the questions with it. In the end we verified some aspects of an induced EMF

This was the sliding pipe prediction that we had had before Mason little exert to the class; which is below.

This is a good Voltage vs Time with Current vs Time graph. As one could see voltage is constant while current

Over time the time constant flattens out. Depending on curtain factors it may flatten out faster or slower but it will go to the same constants
