Experiment No. 6 RESISTOR AND INDUCTOR IN SERIES 1. Objective(s): The activity aims to find the voltage and current in a series resistor and inductor connected across an AC source. This also aims to investigate how impedance varies as the frequency changes. 2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): The students shall be able to: 2.1 Measure the current and voltages in a series RL circuit. 2.2 Verify the characteristics of a series ac circuit that has resistance and inductance. 2.3 Discuss the effect of frequency to the impedance of a series RL circuit. 3. Discussion: Series RL circuits are encountered very often in electronic equipment. When ac voltage is applied to this type of circuit, the current is the same through each component. However, the voltage that drops across each component is distributed according to the relative value of resistance (R) and inductive reactance in the circuit. The total opposition to current is called impedance (Z). Resistance and reactance in ac circuits both oppose the current. The impedance of an ac circuit is expressed as follows: = and for a series RL circuit: = 2 + 2 4. Resources: Feedback AC Basics 12-302 5. Procedure: A. FIXED FREQUENCY 1. Construct the series RL circuit shown in Figure 6 1.

Using the values obtained in procedures 2 and 3, calculate the following: A. Resistance: R = VR/IR = ____________________________ B. Inductive reactance: XL = VL/IL = ______________________ C. Impedance: Z = VT/IT = ____________________________ Note: In series RL circuit IT = IR = IL 6. Calculate the following values of the circuit in Figure 6 1: a. Inductive reactance: XL = 2fL = _______________________ b. Impedance: Z = R2 + XL2 = _______________________ c. Total current: IT = VT/Z = ____________________________ d. Voltage across the resistor: VR = IRR = _________________ e. Voltage across the inductor: VL = ILXL = ________________ f. True power: P = IR2R = _____________________________ g. Inductive reactive power: QL = IL2XL = __________________ h. Apparent power: S = IT2Z = __________________________ i. Power factor: pf = P/S = _____________________________ 7. Draw an impedance triangle, phasor diagram, and power triangle of the calculated values and measured value. B. CHANGING FREQUENCY 1. Using again the circuit in figure 6 1, measure the total current (I) and compute the impedance (Z = VT/IT). 2. Repeat procedure no. 1 by changing the frequency to 1600, 3200, 6400 Hz. 3. Compute the impedance in each frequency. Plot a graph of impedance against the frequency.
