Abstract
The objective of this experiment was for the students to familiarize themselves with the
AC circuit analysis through the measurement of the amplitude and the phase angle of AC voltages
through different scenario, as well as measuring the response of a low, high and band pass filter.
Introduction
The experiment will start with AC circuit analysis through the use of KVL, KCL and the
application of the Thevenin Equivalent. An AC circuit would be the sinusoidal equivalent of a DC
circuit, with the various circuit elements being translated into amplitude V
m
and phasor angle
∠𝜃
,
which can be written as
𝑉
=
𝑉
m
∠𝜃
. Just like DC circuit, AC circuit obeys Kirchoff’s current law,
and we can apply mesh or nodal analysis as well. As for the 2
nd
part of the experiment, we’ll be
measuring different types of AC filter circuits such as low pass, high pass, and band pass.
Procedure (Methods)
AC circuit analysis
-
Turn on the oscilloscope and make the appropriate connection between the RLC chassis
provided, the function generator and the oscilloscope in order to build the circuit displayed
in the lab manual. While doing that, we make our choices of resistor for the R
A
and R
D
,
and measure each of them to get their actual value.
-
From there, we set the Function generator to sine wave and adjust it to the right frequency
(in this case 4500Hz) and the right amplitude in order to find the node voltage for each of
the nodes mentioned in the lab manual by getting, apart from the V1 which was already
given (5V)
-
The next part consists of finding the Thevenin equivalent circuit by connecting a 1Ω
resistor (which would be measured using the DMM)
as shown in the lab manual in order
to get the short circuit current.
Filter circuit
-
Again, using the RLC chassis, we will make the connection between the Function
Generator and the Oscilloscope in order to build the various filter circuits presented in the
lab manual.
o
For the low pass filter, the circuit would consist of an inductor with internal
resistance of 4.77 Ω and a resistor R
1
(with voltage V
2
), which would be chosen by
the students based on their calculations of the half power frequency (chose a
frequency between 800Hz and 4KHz) and the total resistance R= R
s
(internal
resistance of the Function Generator) +R
L
+ R
1
.
o
For the high pass filter, the circuit would consist of a capacitor and a resistor R
1
(with voltage V
2
), which would again be chosen based on their calculations of the
half power frequency (chose a frequency between 800Hz and 4KHz) and the total
resistance R= R
s
+ R
1
.
o
For the band pass filter, the circuit would consist of a capacitor, an inductor and a
Resistor which would be chosen by the students based on their calculations of the
Bandwidth (between 500Hz and 2KHz)and the total resistance R= R
s
+R

is higher than the measured one, but pretty close to the
one that was chosen for the experiment.
The resistance of the inductor has an effect on the half-power frequency as the R value is
obtained by adding up the resistance of the inductor, the resistance of the FG, as well as
the resistance of R

.

Conclusion
Overall, this experiment was useful for students to get familiar with AC analysis
calculations and measurement of AC circuit in various situations. The report was long and tedious
as there were many calculations to be done, but they were necessary due to the fact that they
demonstrated the understanding of the student regarding the experiment.
