This 3-step lab experiment involves measuring the inductive phase shift and reactive power in an AC circuit. Students will connect inductors and resistors in series, measure the voltage and current using oscilloscopes, then calculate the phase difference and reactive power. The results will demonstrate inductive behavior in AC circuits including the lagging current due to the inductive reactance.
