Capacitive Circuits

1. Watch the videos
   • Week 3 Video Lecture - Multisim Single Frequency Analysis
2. Consider the circuit below:

   

   For the circuit above, determine the following (express all answers in phasor form):

   1. X_C
   2. Z_eq
   3. I_T
   4. _R1
   5. I_C1
3. Construct the circuit with MultiSIM using a 5% tolerance for the resistor and the capacitor. Adjust the frequency according to the table below and obtain measurements from MultiSIM using AC Analysis and express in polar form.

   Frequency	IT	IR1	IC1
   100 Hz
   500 Hz
   1000 Hz
   1500 Hz
   10000 Hz
   20000 Hz

4. Discuss the following:
   1. Describe the relationship between the frequency and I_T.
   2. What effect does frequency have on Z_eq?
   3. How could the circuit be modified to bring the phase angle closer to 0^○?
   4. How could the circuit be modified to bring the phase angle closer to -90^○?

Include all calculations, screenshots of measurements, the table results of part 3 and the answers to parts 2 and 4 in a word processing document and submit as EE115W3LabYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension.
