EXERCISE
1. Measure the experimental energy consumed
2. Calculate the theoretical energy
3. Calculate the percentage of error
4. Draw the calibration curve
PROCEDURE:

1.Connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram.

2.Supply is switched ON and load is increased in steps, each time noting the readings of
ammeter and wattmeter. Also the actual time taken for 1 revolution of the disc is
measured using stop watch.
3.Step 2 is repeated till rated current of the energy meter is reached.
4. % Error is calculated and calibration curve is drawn.

CALCULATION:
Let x revolution / kwh be the rating.
Now x revolution = 1 kwh
= 1* 3600*1000* watt-sec.
Constant k of energymeter = 3600 * 103/x watt-sec
For each load indicated power Wi is given as Wi = k/t watts
Where
K= energymeter constant (watt-sec)
T= time for 1 revolution(sec).
Actual power is indicated by the wattmeter reading.
% error = Wi-Wa/Wi* 100.
It can be zero +ve or –ve.

RESULTS:

From the calibration curve it is possible to predict the error

in recording the energy. So the correction can be applied to the energy meter
reading so that correct energy reading can be obtained and used.

Logic Gates

Logic gates process signals which represent true (1, high, +Vs, on) or false (0,
low, 0V, off).
For more information please see the Logic Gates page.
There are two sets of symbols: traditional and IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission).
Gate Traditional
IEC Symbol Function of Gate
Type Symbol
A NOT gate can only have one
input. The 'o' on the output
means 'not'. The output of a
NOT gate is the inverse
NOT
(opposite) of its input, so the
output is true when the input is
false. A NOT gate is also called
an inverter.
An AND gate can have two or
more inputs. The output of an
AND
AND gate is true when all its
inputs are true.
 A NAND gate can have two or
more inputs. The 'o' on the
output means 'not' showing that
NAND
it is a Not AND gate. The output
of a NAND gate is true unless all
its inputs are true.
An OR gate can have two or
more inputs. The output of an
OR
OR gate is true when at least
one of its inputs is true.
A NOR gate can have two or
more inputs. The 'o' on the
output means 'not' showing that
NOR
it is a Not OR gate. The output
of a NOR gate is true when
none of its inputs are true.
An EX-OR gate can only have
two inputs. The output of an EX-
EX-
OR gate is true when its inputs
OR
are different (one true, one
false).
An EX-NOR gate can only have
two inputs. The 'o' on the output
means 'not' showing that it is a
EX-
Not EX-OR gate. The output of
NOR
an EX-NOR gate is true when its
inputs are the same (both true or
both false).

Resistor values - the resistor colour code

Resistance is measured in ohms, the symbol for ohm is an omega .

1 is quite small so resistor values are often given in k and M .
1 k = 1000 1 M = 1000000 .
Resistor values are normally shown using coloured bands.
Each colour represents a number as shown in the table.

Most resistors have 4 bands:

• The first band gives the first digit.

• The second band gives the second digit.
• The third band indicates the number of zeros.
• The fourth band is used to shows the tolerance (precision) of the resistor,
this may be ignored for almost all circuits but further details are given
below.

This resistor has red (2), violet (7), yellow (4 zeros) and gold bands.
So its value is 270000 = 270 k .
On circuit diagrams the is usually omitted and the value is written 270K.

The standard colour code cannot show values of less than 10 . To show these small
values two special colours are used for the third band: gold which means × 0.1 and
silver which means × 0.01. The first and second bands represent the digits as normal. For
example:
red, violet, gold bands represent 27 × 0.1 = 2.7
green, blue, silver bands represent 56 × 0.01 = 0.56

Tolerance of resistors (fourth band of colour code)

The tolerance of a resistor is shown by the fourth band of the colour code.
Tolerance is the precision of the resistor and it is given as a percentage. For
example a 390 resistor with a tolerance of ±10% will have a value within 10% of
390 , between 390 - 39 = 351 and 390 + 39 = 429 (39 is 10% of 390).

A special colour code is used for the fourth band tolerance:

silver ±10%, gold ±5%, red ±2%, brown ±1%.
If no fourth band is shown the tolerance is ±20%.

Tolerance may be ignored for almost all circuits because precise resistor
values are rarely required.

Expt. No. GENERATION OF CLOCK SIGNAL ( MULTIVIBRATOR)

AIM:

To design an Astable multivibrator circuit for the given specifications using 555 Timer
IC.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

S.No Name of the Apparatus Range Quantity

1. Function Generator 3 MHz 1
2. CRO 30 MHz 1
3. Dual RPS 0 – 30 V 1
4. Timer IC IC 555 1
5. Bread Board 1
6. Resistors
7. Capacitors
8. Connecting wires and probes As required

THEORY:

An Astable multivibrator, often called a free-running multivibrator, is a rectangular-

wave-generating circuit. This circuit do not require an external trigger to change the state
of the output. The time during which the output is either high or low is determined by
two resistors and a capacitor, which are connected externally to the 555 timer. The time
during which the capacitor charges from 1/3 Vcc to 2/3 Vcc is equal to the time the output
is high and is given by,

tc = 0.69 (R1 + R2) C

Similarly the time during which the capacitor discharges from 2/3 Vcc to 1/3 Vcc is equal
to the time the output is low and is given by,

td = 0.69 (R2) C

Thus the total time period of the output waveform is,

T = tc + td = 0.69 (R1 + 2 R2) C

The term duty cycle is often used in conjunction with the astable multivibrator. The duty
cycle is the ratio of the time tc during which the output is high to the total time period T.
It is generally expressed in percentage. In equation form,

% duty cycle = [( R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2 R2)] x 100

PIN DIAGRAM:

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR

DESIGN:

[ To design an astable multivibrator with 65% duty cycle at 4 KHz frequency, assume C=
0.01 µF]

Given f= 4 KHz,
Therefore, Total time period, T = 1/f = ____________

We know, duty cycle = tc / T

Therefore, tc = ------------------------
and td = ____________

We also know for an astable multivibrator

td = 0.69 (R2) C

tc = 0.69 (R1 + R2) C

6. Bread Board 1

FORMULA USED:

Ripple Factor =
Where Im is the peak current

THEORY:

Half wave rectifier:

A rectifier is a circuit, which uses one or more diodes to convert A.C voltage into D.C
voltage. In this rectifier during the positive half cycle of the A.C input voltage, the diode
is forward biased and conducts for all voltages greater than the offset voltage of the
semiconductor material used. The voltage produced across the load resistor has same
shape as that of the positive input half cycle of A.C input voltage.
During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse biased and it does not conduct. So
there is no current flow or voltage drop across load resistor. The net result is that only the
positive half cycle of the input voltage appears at the output.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.

2. Apply a.c input using transformer.
3. Measure the amplitude and time period for the input and output waveforms.
4. Calculate ripple factor.

6. Bread Board 1

FORMULA
Ripple Factor = √ [(Im/√2) / (2*Im /л)] -1
2

Where Im is the peak current

THEORY:
The full wave rectifier conducts for both the positive and negative half cycles of
the input ac supply. In order to rectify both the half cycles of the ac input, two diodes are
used in this circuit. The diodes feed a common load RL with the help of a centre tapped
transformer. The ac voltage is applied through a suitable power transformer with proper
turn’s ratio. The rectifier’s dc output is obtained across the load.

The dc load current for the full wave rectifier is twice that of the half wave
rectifier. The lowest ripple factor is twice that of the full wave rectifier. The efficiency of
full wave rectification is twice that of half wave rectification. The ripple factor also for
the full wave rectifier is less compared to the half wave rectifier.
. PROCEDURE:

1. Connections are given as per the circuit diagram wiyhout filter.

2. Note the amplitude and time period of the input signal at the secondary
winding of the transformer and rectified output.
3. Repeat the same steps with the filter and measure Vdc.
4. Calculate the ripple factor.
5. Draw the graph for voltage versus time.

Thus, the full wave rectifier was constructed and the ripple factor was calculated
as
Ripple factor =
