I. OBJECTIVES

To calculate the value of a capacitor's captive reactant as a function of

frequency, find the equivalent capacitance of series and parallel linked capacitors,
and measure the phase angle between current and voltage capacitors.

II. INSTRUMENTS AND COMPONENTS

 Module DL 3155M07
 Oscilloscope
 Signal Generator
 Cable set
 R1 = 10 Ω - 1/4W – 0.5%
 C1 = 1 µF – Metallized film

III. PROCEDURE

For Figure 3.1a

1. Module DL 3155M07 was inserted in the console and turned on.

2. The circuit was connected as shown in Figure 3.1a.
3. The oscilloscope was set to the following settings:
CH1 = 1V/DIV
CH2 = 50mV/DIV
TIME/DIV = 0.2mS
Coupling = AC
4. The signal generator was supplied with the output adjusted to 6Vp-p at 500 Hz.
5. The signal displayed in the oscilloscope in Graph 3.1 was drawn, with the input
signal represented by a continuous line and the signal across R1 represented by
a dotted line.

written in Table 3.1.
10. The number of degrees per division was calculated and written in Table 3.1.
11. The input wave was set to the center of the screen.
12. The number of vertical divisions from the center of the screen between the
voltage and current were read and written in Table 3.1.
13. The phase angle was determined using the product between the result in
procedure 12 and procedure 11, and the values were written in Table 3.1.
14. The capacitive reactance XC1 was calculated and written in Table 3.1.
15. The previous operations were repeated for the values of the frequency given in
Table 3.1.
