    This experiment aims to study the freewheeling action of a diode by observing waveforms on an oscilloscope as a switch and variable inductor are used in a circuit with diodes and an AC supply. Students are to write a theory section explaining what freewheeling action is and its importance. They will connect components, operate the switch at different inductor values, and observe and draw the waveforms, then answer questions about the discharge current shape, conduction angle calculation, advantages of freewheeling, selecting diode ratings, and the difference between a freewheeling and flywheel diode.
