Module 4 Lab Title: Parallel Networks Abstract: In this experiment, I will be learning how to measure and calculate current in a parallel RC circuit in polar form. For my calculation, I will calculate the impedance and use ohms law to find the current mathematically. For the measurement, I will use an oscilloscope to calculate the phase shift and calculate the current drop across the shunt resistor. Introduction: The experiment of parallel RC current measurements and calculations will be done with 2 parallel RC circuits. The first circuit will have a 24-volt peak power supply at 1k Hz, a 1-ohm shunt resistor in series with a 2200-ohm resistor, and a 40 nF capacitor in parallel. The second circuit has the exact layout but use 5k Hz. I will use an oscilloscope to measure the phase shift across the shunt resistor and calculate the current source and the capacitor’s current via the voltage drop of the shunt resistor. Results: 1K Hz Parallel RC Circuit For the first circuit, I measured the voltage drop across the shunt resistor in the circuit below. I calculated the current in polar form and phase shift. Afterward, I verified the current through the voltage drop of the shunt resistor using ohms law.

Calculated Current Measured Current Capacitor Current The capacitor's voltage will be the same as the source. I just used the impedance the calculated the capacitor's current.
Calculated Results Conclusion: I learned how to measure current in the RC circuit using the oscilloscope. The lab entwines with the homework assignments revolving with polar form and branch currents of a parallel circuit. I had difficulty with figuring out the setup of the oscilloscope.

Consider the RC circuit in Figure 2 below. Assuming the switch has been open for a long time before it is closed, fill in a table providing the current through each component and the voltage across each component immediately after the switch is closed, and a very long time after the switch is closed. Next, figure out the time constant for the circuit. (Hint: Assign currents to each branch. Set up the necessary KVL and KCL equations. Eliminate all but one variable to get an equation for just one of the currents. You shouldn’t have to solve this equation to recognize the time constant!)
