Exercise 3: Plot the graph of the reactance vs. frequency of table 2.2.
QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS:
1. What relation can be drawn from the results of Run 1 in table 2.1 regarding
reactance XL and inductance L?

Answer: after I compute for the value of the reactance XL and inductance L, I
observed that as the reactance increases the inductance also increases.

2. What generalization can be drawn regarding the plot of Reactance vs Frequency

in Figure 2.5

Answer: as I plot the graph of reactance vs. frequency, I observed that the graph
is increasing. As the frequency increases the reactance also increases.

3. Enumerate at least ten devices having the property of inductance.

Answer:
Telephone Inductor Coils
Goniometers
Electromagnetic with Armatures
Dynamo Electric Machines

Electro-Mechanical Sound Recorders

Music Instrument Transducers
Inductively Coupled Signaling Systems
Loop Antennas
Telephone Inductor Coils
Sound Pick-ups

4. What is the ideal or perfect inductor? Is there such device that has a
characteristic?

Answer: The perfect inductor has reactance without any resistance. In other words,
the real component of its impedance would be zero. Loss of power as heat within the
inductor is thus also zero.
5. A coil rated 600 watts, 230 volts, 60 Hz has a resistance of 30Ω. What is the
inductance of the coil? If the coil is to be operated at 230 volts, 50Hz supply,
what will be its current, power and power factor under this condition? Can the coil
operate at 230 volts, 50hz supply without risk of damage?

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION:
RUN 1:

TABLE 2.1

TRIAL V I(mA) Ө P(mW) ZL RL XL L

1 5.7 16.9 72 29.76 337.79 104.22 321.31 0.026

3 6.6 8.1 72 16.52 814.81 251.79 774.93 0.0617

As I compute for the values of the coil impedance (ZL), resistance (RL), reactance (XL)
and inductance (L) and the power in watts (P) in the table 2.1 by using the given
formulas, I observed that every time that the voltage increases the power decreases.

In addition, I also observed for the relationship of the power to the coil impedance (ZL),
resistance (RL), reactance (XL), and inductance (L). I can say that the power is
inversely proportional to the coil impedance, reactance, resistance, and inductance. Or
in other words, every time that the power decreases the ZL, RL, XL, and L increases.

RUN 2:

TABLE 2.2

TRAL f(kHz) V I(mA) ZL(kΩ) XL(kΩ)

2 10 7.0 2.1 3.33 3.32
3 15 7.0 1.4 5.00 4.99
4 20 6.8 1.1 6.18 6.17
5 25 6.9 0.9 7.67 7.67
6 30 6.8 0.8 8.5 8.5
7 35 6.7 0.7 9.57 9.5
8 40 6.7 0.7 9.57 9.5

After I compute for the values of ZL and XL in table 2.2, I observed the relationship of
the frequency to ZL and XL. I can say that the frequency is directly proportional to ZL
and XL, because while the frequency increases the value of ZL and XL also increase.
GRAPH:

According to the theory, the graph of inductive reactance against frequency is a straight
line linear curve. The inductive reactance value of an inductor increases linearly as the
frequency across it increases. Therefore, inductive reactance is positive and is directly
proportional to frequency.

So as you can see the figure above our data satisfy the theory. As the frequency
increases the reactance also increases.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION:

After performing the experiment, I observed the different parameters and relationships.

The relationship of the power to the coil impedance, resistance, reactance and the

inductance the power is inversely proportional to them all, while the frequency is directly

proportional to the coil impedance and reactance.

At the end of the experiment, I can say that we meet the expected data for this

experiment. And our data satisfy the theories.
