AC Circuit Measurements

AC Circuit Measurements

Analysis:

1. Watch video entitled “Module 1 – AC Circuit Measurements”

2. For Laboratory Application Assignment on pgs. 467- 468 examine Fig. 15-36.  (Ignore “Using the Oscilloscope and Function Generator” section on pg. 467)

3. Perform the following calculations:

· Rt

· Irms

· V1(rms)

· V2(rms)

4. Show all work.

Simulation:

1. Construct the circuit in Fig. 15-36 with MultiSIM.

2. Measure the following values with a DMM:

· Irms

· V1(rms)

· V2(rms)

· VT(dc)

· V1(dc)

· V2(dc)

3. Measure the following values with an oscilloscope:

· VT(pp)

· V1(pp)

· V2(pp)

· VT(rms) – requires a calculation 

· V1(rms) – requires a calculation

· V2(rms) – requires a calculation

4. Capture a screenshot of measured values and paste into a Word document

5. Answer all questions in the “AC Circuit Measurements” section on pg. 468 in this same document.
