Inductive Reactance and Inductive Circuits

Discussion

Inductive Reactance

Discuss why it is often stated that inductors and capacitors are “dual” elements. Include similarities and differences that must be taken into account when performing calculations with each element and how these two elements are capable of exchanging energy.

. Week 5 Video Lecture – Multisim Parallel Inductive Reactive Circuit

Construct the series and parallel inductive reactive circuits from this week’s assignment in MultiSIM and perform Single AC Frequency Analysis on each circuit to confirm your calculations. Use a 5% tolerance for each resistor or inductor. Capture a screenshot of the output of the analysis to confirm your calculations. Also, construct a table to show expected and measured results.

· Include a discussion of any differences noticed between the calculations and the simulations.

Include all calculations, your table, and screenshots of the analysis in a word processing document and submit as EE115W5LabYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension.
