Experiment Procedure:

1. Set up the circuit as shown in figure c:

figure (c)

2. Adjust the function generator vi=5vp-p sequer wave and f=1KHz.

3. Connect the oscilloscope to the circuit with time base 1 ms/cm.
4. Adjust the resistance (R=2kΩ), capacitor(C=0.001µf), Inductance
(L=10 mH)
5. Sketch the response of the system
6. Measure from the response tr ,tp, wd and fill table 1.
