II. Procedure
Part One.
a) Construct the network of Fig. 8.1.
Insert the measured values of R. The
internal dc resistance of the coil will be
ignored because it is so small compared
to the other series elements of the
circuit.

Table 8.1
Determine the phase angle 1 between
E and VR using the connection shown in
Fig 8.1 and the dual-trace method
introduced in Experiment 7. Record the
results in the top row.
Determine Ip-p fromIp-p=VR(pp)/Rmeasured. Enter the results in the first
column of Table 8.2
Determine the input impedance from
ZT=Ep-p/Ip-p. Enter the results in the
first column of Table 8.2
Calculate the total impedance

from the nameplate value of the
inductance and the measured resistor

Compare the results of (e) and (f) and
explain the source of any differences.
Reverse the positions of R and L and
measure VL(p-p) ( to ensure that the
oscillator (or generator) and the
oscilloscope have a common ground).

Table 8.1

j) Show that your measurements from
parts (b) and (h) satisfy Kirchloffs
voltage law. That is, show that
E=(VR^2+VL^2) using peak-to-peak

k) The phase angle between VR ( in phase
with I) and VL should be 90. Does |1|
+|2|=90? What is the magnitude of
the percent difference (|90sum)|/90)*100%?
l) Using E=8V0, R=1K, and
L=10mH, calculate VR, VL and I at f=
10KHz (peak-to-peak values) and draw
the phasor diagram using peak-to-peak
values. Determine the phase angle 1

ground between the oscilloscope and
oscillator for each measurement, make
sure the element is placed in the position
of the capacitor C. In other words,
reverse the order of the elements so that
the element across which the voltage is
to be measured has the position of C
indicated in Fig 8.3. Record in Table
