This is the graph we measured in an AC circuit that invloves resistor, capacitor and inductor. This graph is we measured with resistor in an AC circuit.

This is the set up for our circuit.

We write every experimental value and calculated value on it, including Irms and Vrms. Also, we calculated the percent difference between real value and our calculated value.

we use calculus to derive the expression for Vmax, Vrms, Imax and Irms.

This time we measured with capacitor in our AC circuit. This time, we calculated some value we need for this experiment on the white board.

This is the graph we have for our second experiment that involves capacitor. Based on this graph, we find Vmax and Imax, and we show the relationship between V and I.

Same as before, we write our all values and board, and calculate Vrms and Irms, and calculated the percent difference.

This time we involves inductor, based on formula we derived before, we solve for the Irms for the AC circuit.

summary:

It is all experiment, and each experiment takes time to perform. By setting AC circuit with capacitor, inductor and regular resistor, we can easily the difference between those 3 different component in an AC circuit.

Error:

Before today's lab, on May 27, we did a lab that performs same thing, however, we connect with inductor.

Before the experiment, we calculated Vrms and Irms.

This is the graph we got from the AC circuit that connected with inductor.
